More generally, whenever a bitfield is allocated for a big-endian machine, and -the storage unit is determined into which that bitfield shall be placed, that -field will be placed at that unit's most significant bit position that is still -available for allocation. On a little-endian machine, that field will be placed -at the least significant available bit position of the storage unit. On either -type of machine, that field will be placed at the lowest-addressed byte or -bytes that are available, and within that byte or those bytes, the field -will occupy the most significant bit positions that are available. If the -field partially occupies a byte, the bits that remain free are the least -significant ones. +the storage unit is determined into which that bitfield shall be placed, the +most significant bits of that storage unit are filled first on a big-endian +machine, whereas the least significant bits are filled first on a little-endian +machine. From this it follows that on either type of machine, that field shall +be placed at the lowest-addressed byte or bytes in which unallocated bits +remain. .SS* FFI Call Descriptors |
