Summary: bit offset of bitfields
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: c
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
A (builtin) function, returning bit offset for bitfields within structs, could
be useful to pass bit "addresses" as function parameters.
In analogy to offsetof()/sizeof(), a similar function returning number of bits
of a bitfield could be created, too, although it would be less useful than the
offset.
