As another datapoint, bitfields have always worked fine for our use of them
on Solaris 2.6 (up to v3.37) and FreeBSD 4.8 (3.38b1).
However if I do something like this with 3.38b1:
typedef struct {
unsigned int day:5;
unsigned int month:4;
unsigned int year:12;
} Date;
Date x;
x.day = 8;
x.month = 8;
x.year = 2003;
printf("%d/%d/%d\n", x.day, x.month, x.year);
On FreeBSD display/edit works fine. On Solaris, it displays zeroes and
just gobbles up all values when edited. However, the edited values are
stored because the printf shows correctly what was entered. This looks like
a problem that was introduced in 3.38b1 (our previous Solaris version was
3.37) on Solaris (2.6 - the original poster was on 2.8). Perhaps an endian
problem?
