    bpo-10746: Fix ctypes PEP 3118 type codes for c_long, c_bool, c_int (#31) · 07f1658a
    Pauli Virtanen yazdı
    Ctypes currently produces wrong pep3118 type codes for several types.
    E.g. memoryview(ctypes.c_long()).format gives "<l" on 64-bit platforms,
    but it should be "<q" instead for sizeof(c_long) == 8
    
    The problem is that the '<>' endian specification in the struct syntax
    also turns on the "standard size" mode, which makes type characters have
    a platform-independent meaning, which does not match with the codes used
    internally in ctypes.  The struct module format syntax also does not
    allow specifying native-size non-native-endian items.
    
    This commit adds a converter function that maps the internal ctypes
    codes to appropriate struct module standard-size codes in the pep3118
    format strings. The tests are modified to check for this.
