Sir or Madam,

I am using gcc version 1.37.1, targeting the Motrola 68020 architecture.
I found this email address while searching through the "Using and Porting
GNU CC" document for the info that I need.  What I am looking for is
information on how bitfields within a structure are implemented in gcc
(when compiling for the above architecture).  i.e. Can one be assured that
bitfields assigned from the top to the bottom of the structure are packed
LSB to MSB (or perhaps the reverse)?  Is there any word or byte aligning
that takes place?  Any padding?  And can one always count on these rules
(the rules that hopefully you will be able to give me)?

Thank you in advance for any help that you can offer.


Sincerely,
-Dale Wade
