I wish that changing a structure is something simple, but is not.
The main constraint is having the config interpreter able to deal only with
integer numbers as values (static or via variables), and flags field stay
behind a variable.
But there could be also memory alignment problems when fields size changes.
Another way could be adding a new field, extended flags, with a different set
of functions to handle them like setflagx()/resetflagx(...)/isflagxset(...), so
the current behaviour is not affected at all. At this moment, from
extensibility point of view I think using an array (static size) is better than
single value field. Initially it can be of uint32_t[2] to give access to 64
more flags, but in the future it can be changed if needed. The functions will
take two parameters, bit index and array index.
Just some ideas, it can be another way, but I would prefer not to affect that
much existing code...
