Article <7551@tank.uchicago.edu> by goer@sophist.UUCP (Richard Goerwitz) says:
| struct { /* clever way of getting at
| unsigned char low; * wait's high and low
| } * /
| bytes;
|#define w_termsig bytes.low & 0x7f /* mask out eighth bit */
| status.w_termsig = status.w_retcode = 0; /* <-- NOTE */
|
|[...] w_termsig expands to bytes.low & 0x7f [and the] expression expands to
|
| status.bytes.low & 0x7f = status.w_retcode = 0;
In many systsem, a system header file will define the struct with bitfields
named termsig, etc. but the bash implementors define these as masks to help
those without the right header file. They then just this incorrectly, and you
should use the masking status.bytes.low &= 0x80 as you suggest.
