I'm not 100% sure that this syntax works on all C/C++ compilers. In C, it's common to use {0}. A more ugly alternative is to have a separated implementation for C++:
#ifdef __cplusplus
# define PySlot_END {0, 0, {0}, {0}}
#else
# define PySlot_END {0}
#endif

Maybe use NULL?
| #define PySlot_END {0, 0, {0}, {0}} | |
| #define PySlot_END {0, 0, {0}, {NULL}} |
Not sure if compilers warn about this, but I heard that C++ is stricter about nullptr↔int casts.

You might get away with
# define PySlot_END {}
for c++ (at least c++11 upwards I think). That's the idiomatic thing for "initialize everything to its default (likely 0) value". But maybe the explicit version with all members is better given it's a fairly short list of members.

Yeah I think a single implementation is probably cleaner. I don't believe |
