The file number.rst on python 3.6 says
"""
.. c:function:: int PyIndex_Check(PyObject *o)
Returns ``1`` if *o* is an index integer (has the nb_index slot of the
tp_as_number structure filled in), and ``0`` otherwise.
"""
But in reality, this is a macro:
"""
#define PyIndex_Check(obj) \
((obj)->ob_type->tp_as_number != NULL && \
(obj)->ob_type->tp_as_number->nb_index != NULL)
"""
But such a macro does not work with the limited API, since
non-heaptypes cannot use PyType_GetSlot.
The patch is trivial: Define the function instead of the macro
when Py_LIMITED_API is set.
I also think the documentation makes more sense when it is correct.

This is not a security issue so a change would not be applicable to the 3.4 or 3.5 branches, currently in security-fix-only mode.

Seems PyIter_Check and PySequence_ITEM have the same problem. And maybe more.

Ok, I tried to submit a patch (not yet successful),
but as it stands, there are more locations in the code where
this will show up with similar problems.
Should I take care of these all as much as I can,
or is it better to leave it to one of you?
Whatever you prefer is ok. I just want the problem to disappear
in 3.7, because I hate to break the API any longer.
Cheers - Chris

Would be nice if you fix as much similar as you can with a single PR.
For performance it makes sense to keep macros if the limited API is not used.

Yes, sure, I will submit a patch that tries to reach as much
as possible locations that have a similar problem. Of course,
the code will only be turned into functions for the PEP context.
Takes a day because I need to re-learn a bit how to do this :-)
(last patch was 2010, I think... )

Hi Ned,
we had a delivery date yesterday for PySide.
The PR is almost ready and will go out today.
Ciao - Chris

@Christian, you can use the "blurb" tool to create the NEWS entry. You can use pip to install it. See:

Thank you, Eric! Will do so.

Excluding names from limited API can break existing code that use them with defined Py_LIMITED_API. I wondering if corresponding functions should be added for PySequence_ITEM, PyObject_IS_GC, PyType_SUPPORTS_WEAKREFS, PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR. Perhaps this should be discussed on Python-Dev.
Since PyList_GET_SIZE and PyList_GET_ITEM are defined only for non-limited API, it is better to wrap definitions of macros that use them (like PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE and PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM) in "#ifndef Py_LIMITED_API" ... "#endif".

"""Excluding names from limited API can break existing code that use them with defined Py_LIMITED_API."""
How is that different? Right now, the code would break at compile time,
because the macros are accessing opaque type fields. Excluding them has
the same effect but is much cleaner.
My current first approach is conservative, because it only makes things
work that didn't work before.
Core that is clearly meant as macro is obviously not meant for the limited
API. And if it should be better included, I'm all open for it.
Right now I want to remove quickly the breakage that was a showstopper.
Maybe I misunderstood you and did exactly what you proposed?
Please let us start a discussion on python-dev. I think there is more to
do to make the limited API really usable in large projects.

As I noted on PR 7477, I decided to merge the change to master so it would get some buildbot exposure before deciding whether to backport for 3.7.0rc1 which is coming up shortly. I notice that the change introduced a compiler warning. Should that be fixed?

@Victor
I cannot test on Windows because I'm in vacation.
But it is very likely similar to bpo-33614 .
The three missing symbols which are listed in python3.def
do clearly come into existence when the limited API is active.

Sigh! I was hoping we could get this in for 3.7.0 but I think we have run out of time and we really should not be making potential user-visible API changes at this last minute. I did notice the new compile warning for the Windows non-debug build but I overlooked that some other non-Windows buildbots were getting them, too. Serihy proposes a more general fix in Issue33818 but I don't think we should be making a change like that just prior to the release candidate.
And, in retrospect, I should not have considered trying to fix the stable ABI support at this late date, either. It looks like it has been broken for some time now so 3.7.0 will not be any worse. At this point, we have Christian's two PRs in master now; if necessary, they could be reverted. I will bow out of this discussion and let you all figure out what is best for master/3.8. Once the changes for master are in and working, we could revisit the question of backports to 3.7 and/or 3.6 maintenance releases. I would like to both thank and apologize to Christian, in particular, and to Serhiy and everyone else who went out of their ways to try to get this in.
Lowering priority to "critical".
