[Cython] Question on "numpy_common.pxi" in NumPy tests

[Stefan Behnel]

Hi,

the NumPy related tests use a file "numpy_common.pxi" that contains this
useless code:

"""
cdef extern from *:
   bint FALSE "0"
   void import_array()
   void import_umath()

if FALSE:
    import_array()
    import_umath()
"""

Does this serve any purpose? It currently leads to build failures of the
tests in C++ mode because the "import_umath()" call seems to inline code
with a bare "return" statement, which is not allowed in the module init
function (which returns a reference to the module).

Is there any reason why this can't just die?

Stefan
