[<thu...@so...>]

Is there any way to specify the bit field information in the field=
 documentation of the structure members?

Warm regards,

I was under the impression that the declaration order specifies the=
 bitfield
layout, but I was mistaken. (In C++ as well: "Allocation of bit-fields=
 within a
class object is implementation-defined.") Perhaps this is one of the causes=
 why
C/C++ has so many binary incompatibility issues...

Anyway, thanks for enlightening me, and please disregard my previous post.

Andras.
