Wrong code generated for union with bitfields

[arkeet]

The below outputs are with bindgen 0.71.1 (no flags) on x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.

Consider the union below. There are two issues:

• The accessors for bitfld_b and bitfld_c use bit offsets of 4 and 8, respectively, while they should be 0.
• The generated type has the wrong size, resulting in a compile error. The C type has size 4 and alignment 1, but the generated type has size 2. (On x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu it happens to compile(!) because the alignment is 4 which makes the size also 4.) Therefore, padding needs to be added.

Don't ask me why someone put a bitfield in a union. (The case I found was an anonymous union in a struct, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.)

Header file

union Union {
    int bitfld_a : 4;
    int bitfld_b : 4;
    int bitfld_c : 4;
};
