- * See bpo-22273 and gh-110190. Arrays are normally treated as
- * pointers, which is fine when an array name is being passed as
- * parameter, but not when passing structures by value that contain
- * arrays.
- * Small structures passed by value are passed in registers, and in
- * order to do this, libffi needs to know the true type of the array
- * members of structs. Treating them as pointers breaks things.
- *
- * Small structures have different sizes depending on the platform
- * where Python is running on:
- *
- * * x86-64: 16 bytes or less
- * * Arm platforms (both 32 and 64 bit): 32 bytes or less
- * * PowerPC 64 Little Endian: 64 bytes or less
- *
- * In that case, there can't be more than 16, 32 or 64 elements after
- * unrolling arrays, as we (will) disallow bitfields.
- * So we can collect the true ffi_type values in a fixed-size local
- * array on the stack and, if any arrays were seen, replace the
- * ffi_type_pointer.elements with a more accurate set, to allow
- * libffi to marshal them into registers correctly.
- * It means one more loop over the fields, but if we got here,
- * the structure is small, so there aren't too many of those.
- *
- * Although the passing in registers is specific to the above
- * platforms, the array-in-struct vs. pointer problem is general.
- * But we restrict the type transformation to small structs
- * nonetheless.
- *
- * Note that although a union may be small in terms of memory usage, it
- * could contain many overlapping declarations of arrays, e.g.
- *
- * union {
- * unsigned int_8 foo [16];
- * unsigned uint_8 bar [16];
- * unsigned int_16 baz[8];
- * unsigned uint_16 bozz[8];
- * unsigned int_32 fizz[4];
- * unsigned uint_32 buzz[4];
- * }
- *
- * which is still only 16 bytes in size. We need to convert this into
- * the following equivalent for libffi:
- *
- * union {
- * struct { int_8 e1; int_8 e2; ... int_8 e_16; } f1;
- * struct { uint_8 e1; uint_8 e2; ... uint_8 e_16; } f2;
- * struct { int_16 e1; int_16 e2; ... int_16 e_8; } f3;
- * struct { uint_16 e1; uint_16 e2; ... uint_16 e_8; } f4;
- * struct { int_32 e1; int_32 e2; ... int_32 e_4; } f5;
- * struct { uint_32 e1; uint_32 e2; ... uint_32 e_4; } f6;
- * }
- *
- * The same principle applies for a struct 32 or 64 bytes in size.
- *
- * So the struct/union needs setting up as follows: all non-array
- * elements copied across as is, and all array elements replaced with
- * an equivalent struct which has as many fields as the array has
- * elements, plus one NULL pointer.
