[issue29753] Ctypes Packing Bitfields Incorrectly - Linux

[Charles Machalow]

Charles Machalow <csm10495 at gmail.com> added the comment:

All of Python is implicitly cross platform. If something isn't actually cross platform, it should be mentioned explicitly in the documentation. For example see the mmap documentation, it explicitly say on Unix it does X, on Windows it does Y. We should be as explicit as possible for ctypes to say on Windows we expect packing like X (GCC) and on Linux we expect packing like Y (VC++).
