Machine type: Auspex Sparc
OS: Unix

gcc version 1.37.1
GNU CPP version 1.37.1
GNU C version 1.37.1 (68k, MIT syntax) compiled by CC.
default target switches: -m68020 -mc68020 -m68881 -mbitfield

Following is a source listing which exhibits a problem when compiling
structures containing bit fields with the -fvolatile option. Following
this is the assembly code generated for this C code. One listing is
with the -fvolatile flag (incorrect), and the last one is without the
flag (correct code). 


The -fvolatile flag causes the wrong assembler instruction to be
generated, when the field byteOffset is accessed, only the low order
byte is moved into a register but the upper 24 bits of that same
register is extracted and operated on.


EXAMPLE OF CODE WHICH DOES NOT WORK:
====================================

typedef struct _CharInfo {
    unsigned	byteOffset:24;	/* byte offset of the raster from pGlyphs */
    unsigned	exists:1;	/* true iff glyph exists for this char */
    unsigned	pad:7;		/* must be zero for now */
} CharInfoRec;

typedef struct _FontInfo {
    unsigned int	version1;   /* version stamp */
    unsigned int	allExist;
    unsigned int	drawDirection;
    unsigned int	noOverlap;	/* true if:
					 * max(rightSideBearing-characterWidth)
					 * <= minbounds->metrics.leftSideBearing
					 */
    unsigned int	constantMetrics;
    unsigned int        mcgFont;        /* AMD44 modification - when set to 
                                         * true it indicates that the font is
                                         * approved for loading into Display 
                                         * Memory. This field is set true or
                                         * false by the bdftosnf conversion
                                         * program and checked by the snffonts
                                         * server routine. 
                                         */
    unsigned int	terminalFont;	/* Should be deprecated!  true if:
					   constant metrics &&
					   leftSideBearing == 0 &&
					   rightSideBearing == characterWidth &&
					   ascent == fontAscent &&
					   descent == fontDescent
					*/
    unsigned int	linear:1;	/* true if firstRow == lastRow */
    unsigned int	constantWidth:1;  /* true if minbounds->metrics.characterWidth
					   *      == maxbounds->metrics.characterWidth
					   */
    unsigned int	inkInside:1;    /* true if for all defined glyphs:
					 * leftSideBearing >= 0 &&
					 * rightSideBearing <= characterWidth &&
					 * -fontDescent <= ascent <= fontAscent &&
					 * -fontAscent <= descent <= fontDescent
					 */
    unsigned int	inkMetrics:1;	/* ink metrics != bitmap metrics */
					/* used with terminalFont */
					/* see font's pInk{CI,Min,Max} */
    unsigned int	padding:28;
    unsigned int	firstCol;
    unsigned int	lastCol;
    unsigned int	firstRow;
    unsigned int	lastRow;
    unsigned int	nProps;
    unsigned int	lenStrings; /* length in bytes of string table */
    unsigned int	chDefault;  /* default character */ 
    int			fontDescent; /* minimum for quality typography */
    int			fontAscent;  /* minimum for quality typography */
    CharInfoRec		minbounds;  /* MIN of glyph metrics over all chars */
    CharInfoRec		maxbounds;  /* MAX of glyph metrics over all chars */
    unsigned int	pixDepth;   /* intensity bits per pixel */
    unsigned int	glyphSets;  /* number of sets of glyphs, for
					    sub-pixel positioning */
    unsigned int	version2;   /* version stamp double-check */
} FontInfoRec;

typedef struct _FontInfo *FontInfoPtr;

typedef struct _Font {
    FontInfoPtr	pFI;
} FontRec;

typedef struct _Font *FontPtr;

FontRec ACTUALFONT;
FontInfoRec ACTUALPFI;
unsigned int A;
main ()
{
  FontPtr pfont;

  pfont = &ACTUALFONT;
  pfont->pFI = &ACTUALPFI;
  A = (pfont->pFI->maxbounds.byteOffset + 3) & ~3;
}
