Subject: RE:  compiler generates incorrect ARM instructions when using long
bitfields

Surely that's the definition of a bug?

I've heard of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.."  but never "If it's always
been broke, its probably supposed to be like that.."  Its a bit like the guy
with a knackered car that never fixes it because "It's always made that
noise"

:)

It just is not a regression since it has been wrong since the begining of
time
for GCC.
