Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:
We don't support older versions of MSVC at this point, so the version check seems unnecessary. If we need to alias these within the CPython sources for non-MSVC compilers, then we should do it in source files. In general, we never want to pollute the user's namespace with aliases like this - when we do, it should get a "_Py_" prefix and ideally be behind one of the Py_BUILD_CORE variables. So I'd rather see a change to remove those definitions from the header files and put them closer to where they belong. If that's too many places, they can go into an internal header with "_Py_" prefix and update all uses. ---------- versions: -Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36020> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
