[GENERAL] eqpg doesn't like bit fields

2006-02-02 Thread Noble, Robert 
I get the following error from ecpg when it encounters a structure
containing a bit field:

../../include/ecn_types.h:317: ERROR: syntax error at or near :

The source it is complaining about is:

   176  typedef enum{
   177  tifIOC = 0,
   178  tifDay = 1,
   179  tifGTX = 2,
   180  tifGTC = 3
   181  } TIF_e;
   ...
   316  typedef struct {
= 317  TIF_e   tif :4;
   318  boolean_t   isCoreOnly  :1;
   ...

Does PostgreSQL support C-language bit fields? I tried searching the
archives, but could not find anything helpful. 

Thanks,
Bob Noble

A quick guess would be that the parser simply doesn't know this syntax. I'll 
have a look at it.
