Several platforms don't define the static_assert macro despite having compiler support for the _Static_assert keyword. The macro needs to be defined since it is used unconditionally in the Python code. So it should always be safe to define it if undefined and not in C++11 (or later) mode. Hence, remove the checks for particular platforms or libc versions, and just define static_assert anytime it needs to be defined but isn't. That way, all platforms that need the fix will get it, regardless of whether someone specifically thought of them. Also document that certain macOS versions are among the platforms that need this. The C2x draft (currently expected to become C23) makes static_assert a keyword to match C++. So only define the macro for up to C17. Co-authored-by: Victor Stinner <vstinner@python.org>
The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
