[issue15119] ctypes mixed-types bitfield layout nonsensical; doesn't match compiler.

[Olaf Hartmann]

Olaf Hartmann added the comment:

I just run into this issue, so i'll bump it with another test case:

import ctypes

class Struct(ctypes.Structure):
    _fields_ = [
        ("uint8_0", ctypes.c_uint8, 8),
        ("uint8_1", ctypes.c_uint8, 8),
        ("uint16_0", ctypes.c_uint16, 1),
        ("uint16_1", ctypes.c_uint16, 15),
    ]

for f in Struct._fields_:
    print f[0], getattr(Struct, f[0])

> python bitfield.py 
uint8_0 <Field type=c_ubyte, ofs=0:0, bits=8>
uint8_1 <Field type=c_ubyte, ofs=1:0, bits=8>
uint16_0 <Field type=c_ushort, ofs=1:8, bits=1>
uint16_1 <Field type=c_ushort, ofs=4:0, bits=15>


Originally tested with Python 2.7.3, but also confirmed with later versions.

Is there any workaround by specifying ofs and bits manually?
