Hi all,
A few weeks ago I made the point that you couldn't use
bitfields in Visual C++. This related to someone's comments
about bitfields being used in the Linux Kernel.
This is totally incorrect. The following is totally legal under
VC++ and I'm using it at the moment
unsigned int my3bitInt : 3; // 0 to 7
Bitfields are standard C but the ordering of bits in bit fields is compiler
specific
In VC++ it seems to be from low to high bit.
I stand corrected.
