I know someone is probably going to tell me I'm a little slow, but here's my
problem. I have a structure that is really a UInt16 with definitions for
different bits. When debugging, I look at the structure and the values are
fine. However, whenever I try to use a value from the structure, (ie
compare it to another number, write it out to the screen), all it gives me
is zero. What am I missing?
Here is the structure definition:
typedef struct {
UInt16 pwdProtected:1; // 1 = protected
UInt16 favorite:1; // 1 = added to favorites list
UInt16 difficulty:3;
UInt16 copyable:1;
UInt16 reserved:10;
} leafFlagsType;
Then, I use that struct inside another:
typedef struct {
UInt16 type;
UInt16 ID;
leafFlagsType leaf;
} RecStructType;
I have a variable defined as RecStructType rec
Then I try to check the value of difficulty. The debugger says that
rec.leaf.difficulty = 3 and diffValue = 0 *after* the statement below is
run. Even if I try and do a compare in line (1 < rec.leaf.difficulty < 5)
it still fails.
diffValue = rec.leaf.difficulty;
Any ideas?
