The program should be able to detect the placements of the

Yeah that was exactly my thinking, these things can be automated
although they might slow down the whole codegeneration process a
little bit (not that it matters much since you would rarely
have to
regenerate).
Btw, I get an internal std error with this mixin:
import std.bitmanip;
struct Foo
{
mixin(bitfields!(
uint, "bits1", 32,
));
}
D:\DMD\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\bitmanip.d(76):
Error:
shift by 32 is outside the range 0..31
Should I file this?
Yes, that should work.
By the way, what's a "butfield"?
