Structures with using bit fields Amrit Agr29-Jan-13 1:34 Amrit Agr 29-Jan-13 1:34  Hi Developers, I am trying to run this chunk of code. C# struct value { int bit1:1; int bit3:4; int bit4:4; }bit; printf("%d\n", sizeof(bit)); I am getting value "4". I am running this program in 32 bit machine using Microsoft Visual C++ complier. Can you please clarify about the result. Re: Structures with using bit fields Richard MacCutchan29-Jan-13 3:38 Richard MacCutchan 29-Jan-13 3:38  You have 9 bits in your field and the default alignment of object code in 32bit architecture is word (32 bit) boundaries. So your structure item will be stored in a 32bit word. You could make it smaller by using a #pragma pack[^] statement. By the way, this is the managed C++ forum, your questions really belong in http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1647/C-Cplusplus-MFC.aspx[^].
