[issue38007] Regression: name of PyType_Spec::slots conflicts with Qt macro

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

Yes, even as a struct member name (at least in the definition), the C preprocessor will substitute a macro. It sounds like Qt defines a macro "slots", and so the definition of the struct will be broken.

Unfortunately, this would be a more significant change than removing the deprecated tp_print field, which we eventually decided not to do because of the compatibility impact. So I can confidently say we won't be able to do this one either.
