Bug report

Bug description:

Python 3.14 implements a special field _layout_ in ctypes.Structure that allows the programmer to explicitly choose the layout rules for bitfields used by either GCC/Clang or MSVC. The default layout is appropiate for the OS platform (MSVC on Windows, GCC otherwise) which is expected behaviour. It is also possible to use field _pack_ to change the layout to match the compiler. This is currently only implemented for the MSVC layout, not for GCC.

The problem is that using _pack_ on non-Windows systems silently switches the layout rules from GCC to MSVC, which is an unexpected layout by default on non-Windows systems. I propose that this case be handled as an error (NotImplementedError) rather than the silent layout switch. The error message may contain a hint that if the MSVC layout is indeed what is intended, one need to select it explicitly by setting field _layout_.

From the Zen of Python:

Explicit is better than implicit.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Errors should never pass silently.

研究方向

該 issue 將 ctypes.Structure 及其 packlayout 欄位確定為入口點。追蹤非 Windows 平台上的位元欄位配置處理及其 ctypes 測試,然後驗證不支援的 pack 行為會引發 NotImplementedError,同時明確選取的 MSVC 配置仍然可用。
