From b2714f05c5cc8765178f296f0f8043410e3a5584 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Viktorin Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2022 13:10:52 +0200 Subject: gh-90814: Correct NEWS wording re. optional C11 features (GH-96309) The previous wording of this entry suggests that CPython won't work if optional compiler features are enabled. That's not the case. The change is that we require C11 rather than C89. Note that PEP 7 does say "Python 3.11 and newer versions use C11 without optional features." It is correct there: that's not a guide for users who compile Python, but for CPython devs who must avoid the features. --- Doc/whatsnew/3.11.rst | 3 ++- Misc/NEWS.d/3.11.0a6.rst | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/whatsnew/3.11.rst b/Doc/whatsnew/3.11.rst index 2159a31..7c72ef4 100644 --- a/Doc/whatsnew/3.11.rst +++ b/Doc/whatsnew/3.11.rst @@ -1619,7 +1619,8 @@ Changes in the Python API Build Changes ============= -* Building Python now requires a C11 compiler without optional C11 features. +* Building Python now requires a C11 compiler.
