Are there any *standard* caveats about bitfield initialization? I have
read dpANS 3.5.2.1 (bitfields) and 3.5.7 (initialization) without
finding any, but I had one of my students bring me a simple program
which fails on two compilers, and I want to be sure that I'm not missing
something before I tell him that both compilers are broken.
I have already added this to my personal list of things to avoid in a
program I have to port to a number of machines...
Mail or post depending on your perception of public interest, if you can
point out a section I've missed, feel free.
