No news entry is required on a PR like this; I've applied the "skip news" label to this PR, and as a result, @bedevere-bot has stopped complaining about the lack of news entry.

Your PR appears to mean that Python no longer builds correctly, however, which is a more serious issue :)

@AlexWaygood can i able to merge this, if not what to do

The error is here. Please take a look at the usage of PyDoc_STRVAR, you can search this in the source code of cpython :)

BTW. There is already a similar PR here.

Hi @CharlieZhao95 I fix the code as said, waiting for merging

In light of #107697 this only updates the comment for POINTER -- @Geekverma do you want to resolve conflicts and focus this PR on that?

A

[Geekverma]

yes

#107660 added a docstring for ctypes.POINTER.
#107697 added a docstring for ctypes.Array.
ctypes.ARRAY still doesn't have a docstring, but this PR doesn't add one, and the function is soft-deprecated.

Sorry @Geekverma -- others were faster.
