unnamed bit fields
>From MBM@MIT-XX Thu Nov 12 22:16:30 1981
These dont seem to me to work (Bell v7 compiler).
My impression is that I should be able to say
struct { int x : 2; :2; :0; int y; }
where the :2 with no identifer pads 2 unused bits and
the :0 pads to the next word. However, the compiler is
not pleased. It accepts named bit fields fine though.
I cant find an example of their use; can someone
enlighten me?
