What I wanted to highlight is that using union of structs containing bitfields does not work as you expect: each union is at least 1 byte. This results in a structure that does not match the expected header. > > > > It would help to see the specification to have a better idea of how to > Sure, I've just posted the link above, please let me know of any suggestion > that you have, and I'll be glad to do accordingly. > > > split, but a possible solution is to do something like this: > > > > struct rte_gtp_psc_generic_hdr { > > uint8_t ext_hdr_len; > > uint8_t type:4 > > uint8_t qmp:1; > > uint8_t pad:3; > > }; > > > > struct rte_gtp_psc_<name1>_hdr { > > uint8_t ext_hdr_len; > > uint8_t type:4 > > uint8_t qmp:1; > > uint8_t uint8_t snp:1; > > uint8_t spare_dl1:2; > > ... > > }; > > > > ... > > > > struct rte_gtp_psc_hdr { > > union { > > struct rte_gtp_psc_generic_hdr generic; > > struct rte_gtp_psc_<name1>_hdr <name1>; > > struct rte_gtp_psc_<name2>_hdr <name2>; > > }; > > }; >From what I see in the documation, I think this approach should work. From afar, I suggest: struct rte_gtp_psc_generic_hdr { #if big endian uint8_t type:4 uint8_t qmp:1; uint8_t pad:3; #else uint8_t pad:3; uint8_t qmp:1; uint8_t type:4 #endif }; struct rte_gtp_psc_type0_hdr { #if big endian uint8_t type:4 uint8_t qmp:1; uint8_t snp:1; uint8_t spare:2; uint8_t ppp:1; ... #else uint8_t pad:3; uint8_t qmp:1; uint8_t type:4 uint8_t spare:2; uint8_t snp:1; ... #endif uint8_t data[0]; /* for variable fields */ }; struct rte_gtp_psc_type1_hdr { ... same for fixed fields of type1 uint8_t data[0]; /* for variable fields */ }; I don't see in the spec where is the reference to ext_hdr_len.
