Transcription: Because bit fields rely on the architecture of your computer and implementation of C++, code that uses them may not be portable. The attempt to save space may be offset on some computers by extra overhead required to address individual bit fields. Also, when the location of a bit field is adjusted to fit a byte or word boundary, bits may be left unused. This book describes many powerful and flexible tools that support object-oriented programming The member bitfield's facility is not one of them.
