[New-bugs-announce] [issue6151] Make PyDescr_COMMON conform to standard C

[Alexandre Vassalotti]

New submission from Alexandre Vassalotti <alexandre at peadrop.com>:

PyDescrObject make use of the some undefined behavior noted in PEP 3123
for PyObject in Python 2.x. Although fixing this requires breaking
backward-compatibility, this shouldn't be much a problem since
PyDescrObject is only used directly by Python itself.
