unnamed members of a structure - rahul_mishra - 13-10-2006
Please let me know \"How do we access an unnamed member of a structure\"?
Its quite natural to use bitfields as unnamed members of a structure especially for padding. But, how do we access those unnamed members. Do we have to increment the pointer to access it? if yes, please illustrate it with an example.

Do NOT access the unnamed members of a structure.
If you want to access such a member, give it a name. Any other mechanism is not allowed
