Description Ellery Newcomer 2011-02-02 17:54:23 UTC 
I think it would be nice to have a variation of bitfields which generates operations on a preexisting field, e.g.

struct Z{
 Foobar f;
 mixin(bitfieldsOn!("f.squirt.honk"
                    bool, "buzz",1,
                    uint, "fuzz",7,
 ));
}

Current branch adds the feature. I do see it as useful. Once current pull is accepted, this will be resolved.

Could you add a link to the pull request you're talking about?  Same for issue 4935.

Couldn't you use a union for this?
