+
+Code Object Flags
+-----------------
+
+Code objects contain a bit-field of flags, which can be retrieved as the
+:attr:`~codeobject.co_flags` Python attribute (for example using
+:c:func:`PyObject_GetAttrString`), and set using a *flags* argument to
+:c:func:`PyUnstable_Code_New` and similar functions.
+
+Flags whose names start with ``CO_FUTURE_`` correspond to features normally
+selectable by :ref:`future statements <future>`. These flags can be used in
+:c:member:`PyCompilerFlags.cf_flags`.
+Note that many ``CO_FUTURE_`` flags are mandatory in current versions of
+Python, and setting them has no effect.
+
+The following flags are available.
+For their meaning, see the linked documentation of their Python equivalents.

Extra information
-----------------
:py:mod:`!ast` Python module, which exports these constants under
the same names.
- .. c:var:: int CO_FUTURE_DIVISION
-
- This bit can be set in *flags* to cause division operator ``/`` to be
- interpreted as "true division" according to :pep:`238`.
+ The "``PyCF``" flags above can be combined with "``CO_FUTURE``" flags such
+ as :c:macro:`CO_FUTURE_ANNOTATIONS` to enable features normally
+ selectable using :ref:`future statements <future>`.
+ See :ref:`c_codeobject_flags` for a complete list.
