New submission from Joseph Armbruster:
I found two code blocks that look as if they can be safely removed:
>From _csv.c:
/* begin 2.2 compatibility macros */
#ifndef PyDoc_STRVAR
/* Define macros for inline documentation. */
#define PyDoc_VAR(name) static char name[]
#define PyDoc_STRVAR(name,str) PyDoc_VAR(name) = PyDoc_STR(str)
#ifdef WITH_DOC_STRINGS
#define PyDoc_STR(str) str
#else
#define PyDoc_STR(str) ""
#endif
#endif /* ifndef PyDoc_STRVAR */
>From pyexpat.c:
#ifndef PyDoc_STRVAR
/*
* fdrake says:
* Don't change the PyDoc_STR macro definition to (str), because
* '''the parentheses cause compile failures
* ("non-constant static initializer" or something like that)
* on some platforms (Irix?)'''
*/
#define PyDoc_STR(str) str
#define PyDoc_VAR(name) static char name[]
#define PyDoc_STRVAR(name,str) PyDoc_VAR(name) = PyDoc_STR(str)
#endif
