- I am involved with embeded system development tools and there are
- several compilers for the 8-bit end of the market that offer char
- sized bitfields.
-
- HiTech Software and IAR Systems to mention just two.
-
- Both of these vendors have 16 and 32 bit compilers and I guess they
- probably offer them there too.
-
- The main usage is to beable to declare structrues which represent
- hardware registers and I/O devices.
