New submission from Thomas Heller:
(As requested by email in python-dev I'm reporting this problem)
Some function prototypes in the stable ABI have been changed between Python 3.3
and 3.4.
PyObject_CallFunction is an example, the second parameter has been changed from
'char *' to 'const char *', which leads to compiler warnings in my code.
I admit that my use case is probably weird, but here we go:
I want to embed Python and use the stable ABI (API?) so that I the executable
does not have to be recompiled for different Python versions. I want to link
dynamically to the Python runtime (loaded with LoadLibrary on Windows). Also I
do not want in use python3.dll.
To make calling the functions less painful I ended up with the following
approach.
My executable is compiled with 'Py_BUILD_CORE' defined so that I can
*implement* PyObject_CallFunction myself. I have a python-dynload.c file which
implements the API functions in this way:
#define Py_BUILD_CORE
#include <Python.h>
HMODULE hPyDLL; /* the module handle of a dynamically loaded python3X.dll */
PyObject *PyObject_CallFunction(PyObject *callable, char *format, ...)
{
/* implement by forwarding to functions in the dynloaded dll */
}
When I compile this code with the Python 3.3 headers, everything is ok. With
the Python 3.4 headers, I get
source/python-dynload.c(75) : warning C4028: formal parameter 2 different
from declaration
When I change the second parameter in the function definition to 'const char
*format', the situation reverses, compiling with 3.3 gives the warning but 3.4
is ok.
