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.
Thanks,
Dan
