Currently building Python 3.9 on Windows produce many compiler warnings. 3.8 and master are clean.
Warnings in the _sre module caused by the bug in MSVC (complains about automatic conversion of "void **" to "const void *"). Fixed by backporting PR20508.
Warnings in many files related to using legacy C API (e.g. PyUnicode_AsUnicode) in Windows specific code.
..\Objects\exceptions.c(2313): warning C4098: 'MemoryError_dealloc': 'void' function returning a value
..\Objects\frameobject.c(400): warning C4267: 'initializing': conversion from 'size_t' to 'int', possible loss of data
The last two may be hidden bugs.

Ammar Askar, do you mind to backport PR 20628 to 3.9? It is the only warning left, and it seems there is a potential bug.

Sure thing, I'll work on the backport.
