.. _ctypes-structureunion-alignment-byte-order:
+.. warning::
+
+ :mod:`ctypes` does not support passing unions or structures with bit-fields
+ to functions by value. While this may work on 32-bit x86, it's not
+ guaranteed by the library to work in the general case. Unions and
+ structures with bit-fields should always be passed to functions by pointer.
