New submission from Petr Viktorin <encu...@gmail.com>:
When compiled with GCC's -Werror=declaration-after-statement ("intermingled
declarations" in PEP7), cpython/abstract.h (included from <Python.h>) errors on
vectorcall helper functions added in 3.8.0 Beta 1.
It's well within our rights to ignore this: since 3.6 we require intermingled
declarations.
But, when re-compiling Fedora we've seen several projects fail with this
warning (so far: pygobject3, python-dbus, xen; more will likely come).
Dear Release Manager, should we patch 3.8 to avoid this? The patch is simple,
and it would give projects that we(re) dutifully tested with the Alphas one
more release to adapt.
I don't think it's worth changing for 3.9 (but if we do we should test it).
