[fpc-pascal] struct definition in C

[Darius Blaszyk]

Thanks Jonas!
One more question. Why is it that there is no portable way to access the
bitfields? Is that because of endian issues, or is there more to it?
What about declaring the bitfields in a bitpacked record as "array of
boolean"? 

Regards, Darius
