There was a problem hiding this comment.
Can the warning only be silenced for anonymous unions, not for anonymous structs?
Maybe add _Py_ANONYMOUS_UNION, or even _Py_BEGIN_ANONYMOUS_UNION and _Py_END_ANONYMOUS_UNION?

I think that would mean more typing for little benefit. |

We already use an anonymous union for PyObject. This makes the workarounds available in all public headers:
__pragma(warning(disable: 4201))(with push/pop). Warning 4201 is specifically for anonymous unions, so let's disable for all of<Python.h>_Py_ANONYMOUSas__extension___Py_ANONYMOUSas nothing(Note that this is only for public headers -- CPython internals use C11, which has anonymous structs/unions.)
