This adds a missing return statement in the python3 specific import logic of boost.python.numpy. For python3 wrap_import_array() needs to return a pointer value. The import_array() macro only returns NULL in case of error. The missing return statement is UB, so the compiler can assume it does not happen. This means the compiler can assume the error branch is always taken, so import_array must always fail.
Synopsis
Welcome to Boost.Python, a C++ library which enables seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python programming language. The library includes support for:
- References and Pointers
- Globally Registered Type Coercions
- Automatic Cross-Module Type Conversions
- Efficient Function Overloading
- C++ to Python Exception Translation
- Default Arguments
- Keyword Arguments
- Manipulating Python objects in C++
- Exporting C++ Iterators as Python Iterators
- Documentation Strings
See the Boost.Python documentation for details.
Hint : Check out the development version of the documentation to see work in progress.
Building

While Boost.Python is part of the Boost C++ Libraries super-project, and thus can be compiled as part of Boost, it can also be compiled and installed stand-alone, i.e. against a pre-installed Boost package.
