Package: libpython3.12-dev
Version: 3.12.1-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream newcomer

Dear Maintainer,

Some of the C code contained within the headerfiles from libpython3.12-dev appears not to be compliant with C90 standards (examples: [1][2]).

This contributed to a build failure[3] for the onboard/1.4.1-5 package that is currently part of the python3.12-add[4] transition.

Upstream has continued to accept pull requests / patches to update their code to remain C90 compliant over the past few years (example: [5]).

Although I'm not initially attaching a patch here, I hope to do so within the next week, unless someone else writes one before I do.

Regards,
James

It seemed worth forwarding this bugreport upstream, since it may be a quick fix there (initially I felt that it may be worth handling in Debian initially and then forwarding; perhaps not, though). Alternatively we may learn that C90 is no-longer a code style baseline for cpython, and in that case we can adjust accordingly.
