Hi, Greg

Thank you for your reply
It's fine to do compile bit fields "by hand".

Surely Go has something like "if (field & 0x01)", right?  That's all you
need for a bitfield.

Look at the most common syscall, open(2)?  It uses bitfields, why
can't Go handle that?

Flag arguments are very different from bit-fields in struct types.

Structs with bit-fields are not part of the highly portable C subset.
Even C compilers differ in their interpretation.

Thanks,
Florian
