We already use an anonymous union for PyObject. This makes the workarounds available in all public headers: - MSVC: `__pragma(warning(disable: 4201))` (with push/pop). Warning 4201 is specifically for anonymous unions, so let's disable for all of `<Python.h>` - GCC/clang, pedantic old C standards: define `_Py_ANONYMOUS` as `__extension__` - otherwise, define `_Py_ANONYMOUS` as nothing (Note that this is only for public headers -- CPython internals use C11, which has anonymous structs/unions.)

The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
