If I understand correctly, this doc patch would apply to 2.7 and 3.2 also. I have two style comments. I believe
"It is important to note that bit field allocation and layout in memory is not defined as a standard, rather its implementation is compiler-specific."
could be shortened to
"Bit field allocation and memory layout is compiler-specific."
To me, this leads nicely into the proposed sentence that follows.
"it is recommended that no assumptions are made about the structure size and layout."
I do not like 'it is recommended'. Let us state the fact.
"any assumptions about the structure size and layout may be wrong." |
