yes, i think it would be unwise. i think you mean
sp = ((uintptr*)jb)[0]
pc = ((uintptr*)jb)[1]

it's just my opinion. i would see such code as peeking through
an deliberately-opaque interface. and to me that's almost always
a bad idea. even if it works, and even if other people do it.
others might have other thoughts.
