I tried to use bit fields in structures, and those structures in other structures. I got really strange errors, such as gdb didn't see a variable declared, nor all the lines in a file (listing showed the line, asking for a breakpoint near the end of the file reported there was no such line). I used the bit fields with unsigned char's, since I wanted everything as small as possible. I would like any info I can get on properly using bit fields on the NeXT, since as specified in K&R Ansi edition, everything is implementation dependent, and that seems about all they tell you.
