I think we should distinguish minimal supported C standard for compiling CPython itself and for compiling extensions. We can use all C99 features supported by main compilers in the code of CPython, but C99 is not even compatible with C++, and it may be not compatible with extensions written in other languages (D, Rust, Go, etc), so I think we should use more restricted version in headers. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39615> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
