This blog post shows possible ideas to make std.bitmanip.bitfields more complete: http://potential-lang.org/2010/07/02/quasi-quoting-ascii-art-to-define-data-structures/An example of the ideas: struct IntDesc_t { ... immutable IST : 3 = 0; immutable Unused0 : 5 = 0; immutable type : 4 = 0b1110; immutable Unused1 : 1 = 0b0; dpl : 2; p : 1; ... That means allowing the fields to have an optional initialization value. And they can be flagged to be immutable too :-) Bit fields that can't change are common. Bye, bearophile
How is this different from erlang's bitfields, aside from the mutable/immutable part?
