This appeared in DWARF4 but is supported only in gcc's -gdwarf-5,
support it in a way that makes the output be the same for both cases:
$ gcc -gdwarf-4 -c examples/dwarf5/bf.c
$ pahole bf.o
struct pea {
long int a:1; /* 0: 0 8 */
long int b:1; /* 0: 1 8 */
long int c:1; /* 0: 2 8 */
/* XXX 29 bits hole, try to pack */
/* Bitfield combined with next fields */
int after_bitfield; /* 4 4 */
/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
/* sum members: 4 */
/* sum bitfield members: 3 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 29 bits */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
$ gcc -gdwarf-5 -c examples/dwarf5/bf.c
$ pahole bf.o
struct pea {
long int a:1; /* 0: 0 8 */
long int b:1; /* 0: 1 8 */
long int c:1; /* 0: 2 8 */
/* XXX 29 bits hole, try to pack */
/* Bitfield combined with next fields */
int after_bitfield; /* 4 4 */
/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
/* sum members: 4 */
/* sum bitfield members: 3 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 29 bits */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
$
Now with an integer before the bitfield:
$ cat examples/dwarf5/bf.c
struct pea {
int before_bitfield;
long a:1, b:1, c:1;
int after_bitfield;
} p;
$ gcc -gdwarf-4 -c examples/dwarf5/bf.c
$ pahole bf.o
struct pea {
int before_bitfield; /* 0 4 */
/* Bitfield combined with previous fields */
long int a:1; /* 0:32 8 */
long int b:1; /* 0:33 8 */
long int c:1; /* 0:34 8 */
/* XXX 29 bits hole, try to pack */
int after_bitfield; /* 8 4 */
/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
/* sum members: 8 */
/* sum bitfield members: 3 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 29 bits */
/* padding: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};
$ gcc -gdwarf-5 -c examples/dwarf5/bf.c
$ pahole bf.o
struct pea {
int before_bitfield; /* 0 4 */
/* Bitfield combined with previous fields */
long int a:1; /* 0:32 8 */
long int b:1; /* 0:33 8 */
long int c:1; /* 0:34 8 */
/* XXX 29 bits hole, try to pack */
int after_bitfield; /* 8 4 */
/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
/* sum members: 8 */
/* sum bitfield members: 3 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 29 bits */
/* padding: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};
$
And an array of long integers at the start, before the combination of an
integer with a long integer bitfield:
$ cat examples/dwarf5/bf.c
struct pea {
long array[3];
int before_bitfield;
long a:1, b:1, c:1;
int after_bitfield;
} p;
$ gcc -gdwarf-4 -c examples/dwarf5/bf.c
$ pahole bf.o
struct pea {
long int array[3]; /* 0 24 */
int before_bitfield; /* 24 4 */
/* Bitfield combined with previous fields */
long int a:1; /* 24:32 8 */
long int b:1; /* 24:33 8 */
long int c:1; /* 24:34 8 */
/* XXX 29 bits hole, try to pack */
int after_bitfield; /* 32 4 */
/* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */
/* sum members: 32 */
/* sum bitfield members: 3 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 29 bits */
/* padding: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};
$ gcc -gdwarf-5 -c examples/dwarf5/bf.c
$ pahole bf.o
struct pea {
long int array[3]; /* 0 24 */
int before_bitfield; /* 24 4 */
/* Bitfield combined with previous fields */
long int a:1; /* 24:32 8 */
long int b:1; /* 24:33 8 */
long int c:1; /* 24:34 8 */
/* XXX 29 bits hole, try to pack */
int after_bitfield; /* 32 4 */
/* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */
/* sum members: 32 */
/* sum bitfield members: 3 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 29 bits */
/* padding: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};
