No Sun Studio 12 warning message for bitfield sizes?

Hi,

Does Sun Studio 12 support GCC bitfield sizes?

The FAQ for version 11 (http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Sun_and_GCC_Compiler_Portability) specifially says Sun Studio does not support it. But I do not get any warning message, with any version I have tested (10 & 12). Am I missing some compiler flag or is the C compiler just silently ignoring those?

Thanks!

ok I have just found that the -Xc option gives me the following warning:

warning: nonportable bit-field type

Does that mean that the compiler is understanding this, but just warning me that this is not portable across different platforms? This would be acceptable in my case...

Thanks!

C compiler does support long long bitfields.C++ compiler supports it in 64-bit mode only.
