New submission from Maxime Belanger <m...@dropbox.com>:
We build Python on macOS with `-Werror=unguarded-availability` and
`-mmacosx-version-min=<xx>` to ensure `libpython` is binary-compatible with
earlier versions of macOS.
This can create problems when building some modules, including `timemodule.c`,
which was recently altered to fix bpo-28081. The initial fix is inappropriate,
because attempting to reference `CLOCK_REALTIME` et al when
`HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME` is unset (in our case, due to being too "new"), results in
a compiler error:
```
./Modules/timemodule.c:1368:29: error: '_CLOCK_REALTIME' is only available on
macOS 10.12 or newer
[-Werror,-Wunguarded-availability]
PyModule_AddIntMacro(m, CLOCK_REALTIME);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/usr/include/time.h:154:24: note: expanded from macro 'CLOCK_REALTIME'
#define CLOCK_REALTIME _CLOCK_REALTIME
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./Include/modsupport.h:78:67: note: expanded from macro 'PyModule_AddIntMacro'
#define PyModule_AddIntMacro(m, c) PyModule_AddIntConstant(m, #c, c)
```
A more correct patch (I'm attaching ours) is to only add the macros to the
module if at least one of the three functions is defined. This should continue
to work for the author of the original issue as well as fix our problem.
