Here I have specified the use of 16 bits in two bit fields in my main struct. When you specify a int type bit field on a 32bit machine, does the bit field use 32 bits even if you only specify 16? I'm trying to conserve memory you see.Code:struct x_mttype { struct { unsigned int type : 5; unsigned int locale : 1; unsigned int obs : 1; unsigned int offset : 9; } tilea; struct { unsigned int tchar : 8; unsigned int palette : 5; unsigned int bright : 1; unsigned int link : 1; unsigned int mystery : 1; } tileb; char *file; }; x_mttype map[19][79];
