           Summary: bit offset of bitfields
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: w...@host.sk


A (builtin) function, returning bit offset for bitfields within structs, could
be useful to pass bit "addresses" as function parameters.

In analogy to offsetof()/sizeof(), a similar function returning number of bits
of a bitfield could be created, too, although it would be less useful than the
offset.
