New submission from Vitaliy <numz...@yandex.ru>:
There is a lot of macros like:
#define PyObject_TypeCheck(ob, tp) \
(Py_IS_TYPE(ob, tp) || PyType_IsSubtype(Py_TYPE(ob), (tp)))
These work fine until an argument happen to contain a comma. That’s possible as
a result of other macro’s expansion. E.g. if U(x) is defined as x,
PyObject_TypeCheck(ob, U(f<a,b>(c)))
expands to
(Py_IS_TYPE(ob, f<a,b>(c)) || ...)
but < and > aren’t treated as brackets by the preprocessor so Py_IS_TYPE is now
invoked with 3 arguments instead of just 2, breaking module compilation.
As arguments are expected to be values, surrounding each with parentheses
solves the problem. But there are many such macros so that’s not an one-line
fix.
Note: the example is from PyGLM (simplified), it doesn’t compile on 3.9 due to
this issue.
