[New-bugs-announce] [issue4763] PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches documentation out of date

[garcia]

New submission from garcia <ronald.garcia at rice.edu>:

The documentation for PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches states that "If given is 
NULL, a memory access violation will occur."  However, looking at the 
code, this is not the case:  the function returns 0 (read: false).
It appears, rather, that this function always succeeds.
