New submission from Stefan Behnel <[email protected]>:
Following up on issue 25658, it was found that the current definition of
Py_tss_NEEDS_INIT restricts its use to initialisers in C and cannot be used for
arbitrary assignments. It is currently declared as follows:
#define Py_tss_NEEDS_INIT {0}
which results in a C compiler error for assignments like "x =
Py_tss_NEEDS_INIT".
I proposed to change this to
#define Py_tss_NEEDS_INIT ((Py_tss_t) {0})
in compliance with GCC and C99, but that fails to compile in MSVC and probably
other old C++-ish compilers.
I'm not sure how to improve this declaration, but given that it's a public
header file, restricting its applicability seems really unfortunate.
