>From "C++: The Complete Reference", by Herbert Schildt, page 176:
You cannot know, from machine to machine, whether the fields
will run from right to left or from left to right; this implies
that any code using bit-fields may have some machine
dependencies. Other restrictions may be imposed by various
specific implementations, so check the user manual for your
compiler.
A long time ago, I had two Windows C compilers that produced
bitfields in opposite directions. I wasted a lot of time tracking
down that 'bug'. So I no longer trust bitfields. I like bitwise
operators better anyway.
