With respect to unions as bitfields....
I believe a union allocates memory for the LARGEST member of the union,
so if I understand you correctly, every union you used would have to be of...say long long or whatever....
since you can use the | operator on items in your struct bitfield,
I am wondering how big you can make them.... for example, how much of
this would work:
struct bitfield {
little_bit: 8;
bigger_bit: 32;
rockin_on: 64;
fat_man: 128;
MIRV: 1024:
};//
if you can do this, does the | still work? (I would assume it would, if
only the first part works!)
