> In order to avoid undefined behavior, Python's C API should avoid all use of bit fields.

See also the PEP 620. IMO more generally, the C API should not expose structures, but provide ways to access it through getter and setter functions.

See bpo-40120 "Undefined C behavior going beyond end of struct via a [1] arrays" which is a similar issue.
