Subject: bpo-45459: Rename buffer.h to pybuffer.h (#31201)
X-Git-Tag: v3.11.0a6~126
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=66b3cd7063322a9f5c922a97bbd06fdb98309999;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

bpo-45459: Rename buffer.h to pybuffer.h (#31201)

Rename Include/buffer.h header file to Include/pybuffer.h to avoid
conflicts with projects having an existing "buffer.h" header file.

* Incude pybuffer.h before object.h in Python.h.
* Remove #include "buffer.h" from Include/cpython/object.h.
* Add a forward declaration of the PyObject type in pybuffer.h to fix
  an inter-dependency issue.
