+Conversion from ctypes to dtype.
+
+In an ideal world, we could acheive this through the PEP3118 buffer protocol,
+something like::
+
+ def dtype_from_ctypes_type(t):
+ # needed to ensure that the shape of `t` is within memoryview.format
+ class DummyStruct(ctypes.Structure):
+ _fields_ = [('a', t)]
+
+ # empty to avoid memory allocation
+ ctype_0 = (DummyStruct * 0)()
+ mv = memoryview(ctype_0)
+
+ # convert the struct, and slice back out the field
+ return _dtype_from_pep3118(mv.format)['a']
+
+Unfortunately, this fails because:
+
+* ctypes cannot handle length-0 arrays with PEP3118 (bpo-32782)
+* PEP3118 cannot represent unions, but both numpy and ctypes can
+* ctypes cannot handle big-endian structs with PEP3118 (bpo-32780)
