`numexpr` still uses `NPY_ARRAY_UPDATEIFCOPY`

See original GitHub issue

We deprecated NPY_ARRAY_UPDATEIFCOPY a pretty long time ago, but with a Python warning. There is one (probably almost never used) branch that still has an NPY_ARRAY_UPDATEIFCOPY . NumPy main currently removes the symbol entirely, so this will not work. And if compiled on older NumPy versions, it would just do the wrong thing (not copy back).

It is in an n_inputs == 0 branch, is that branch meaningless enough, or should we fix this here, and delay the deprecation for one release in NumPy for the sake of numexpr?

Here is the code: https://github.com/pydata/numexpr/blob/d745933d1fb79f08ca152463480d506199ea24f0/numexpr/interpreter.cpp#L1271

Alright I’ve released 2.8.3. I skipped 2.8.2 because I once again didn’t have the right description metadata for RST. Not sure how that happened, probably I didn’t pull remote changes at some point. In any case I think this is resolved, if people have trouble with the writeback please re-open.

This is broken now that numpy 1.23.0 has been released, so may warrant a new numexpr release?
