The library defines a typedef to the new BitMask Data Converter. So anywhere you can use a typedef, you can use ffi-bit_masks.

I'm thinking about forking the library and writing a plugin specifically for Struct bit-fields, but I want to use sexy syntax:
layout :foo, :uint,
       :x,    1,
       :y,    3,
       :z,    2

I finally got around to finishing my FFI plugin for handling bit-masked
function arguments. Much thanks to Wayne Meissner for explaining the
DataConverter API.

Now I'm wondering what a FFI plugin for struct bit-fields might look like?


Does this mean this plugin will work for function arguments but not for struct
fields?
