Alright, I'm back and bearing patches. Firmly ready for the crucifixion you will likely submit me to. :)

I've pretty much rewritten everything, taking into account all your suggestions, and adding a handful of tests for corner cases we will now handle correctly.

It seems the minimum needed is to calculate the byte offset of the start of the bit region, and the length of the bit region. (Notice I say BYTE offset, as the start of any bit region will happily coincide with a byte boundary). These will of course be adjusted as various parts of the bitfield infrastructure adjust offsets and memory addresses throughout.

First, it's not as easy as calling get_inner_reference() only once as you've suggested. The only way to determine the padding at the end of a field is getting the bit position of the field following the field in question (or the size of the direct parent structure in the case where the field in question is the last field in the structure). So we need two calls to get_inner_reference for the general case. Which is at least better than my original call to get_inner_reference() for every field.

I have clarified the comments and made it clear what the offsets are relative to.

I am now handling large offsets that may appear as a tree OFFSET from get_inner_reference, and have added a test for one such corner case, including nested structures with head padding as you suggested. I am still unsure that a variable length offset can happen before a bit field region. So currently we assert that the final offset is host integer representable. If you have a testcase that invalidates my assumption, I will gladly add a test and fix the code.

Honestly, the code isn't pretty, but neither is the rest of the bit field machinery. I tried to make due, but I'll gladly take suggestions that are not in the form of "the entire bit field code needs to be rewritten" :-).

To aid in reviewing, the crux of everything is in the rewritten get_bit_range() and the first block of store_bit_field(). Everything else is mostly noise. I have attached all of get_bit_range() as a separate attachment to aid in reviewing, since that's the main engine, and it has been largely rewritten.

This pacth handles all the testcases I could come up with, mostly inspired by your suggestions. Eventually I would like to replace these target specific tests with target-agnostic tests using the gdb simulated thread test harness in the cxx-mem-model branch.

Finally, you had mentioned possible problems with tail padding in C++, and suggested I use DECL_SIZE instead of calculating the padding using the size of direct parent structure. DECL_SIZE doesn't include padding, so I'm open to suggestions.

Fire away, but please be kind :).

/* In the C++ memory model, consecutive bit fields in a structure are

   Given a COMPONENT_REF, this function calculates the byte offset of
   the beginning of the memory location containing bit field being
   referenced.  The byte offset is returned in *OFFSET and is the byte
   offset from the beginning of the containing object (INNERDECL).

   The largest mode that can be used to write into the bit field will
   be returned in *LARGEST_MODE.

   For example, in the following structure, the bit region starts in
   byte 4.  In an architecture where the size of BITS gets padded to
   32-bits, SImode will be returned in *LARGEST_MODE.

     struct bits {
       int some_padding;
       struct {
         volatile char bitfield :1;
       } bits;
       char b;
     };

   EXP is the COMPONENT_REF.

   Examples.

   While storing into FOO.A here...

      struct {
        BIT 0:
          unsigned int a : 4;
          unsigned int b : 1;
        BIT 8:
          unsigned char c;
          unsigned int d : 6;
      } foo;

   ...we are not allowed to store past <b>, so for the layout above,
   *OFFSET will be byte 0, and *LARGEST_MODE will be QImode.

   Here we have 3 distinct memory locations because of the zero-sized
   bit-field separating the bits:
   
     struct bits
     {
       char a;
       int b:7;
       int :0;
       int c:7;
     } foo;

   Here we also have 3 distinct memory locations because
   structure/union boundaries will separate contiguous bit-field
   sequences:

     struct {
       char a:3;
       struct { char b:4; } x;
       char c:5;
