This code is generated and is generic to allow multiple names for any
given bit using something like
typedef union {
struct {
unsigned URSTIE : 1;
unsigned UERRIE : 1;
unsigned ACTVIE : 1;
unsigned TRNIE : 1;
unsigned IDLEIE : 1;
unsigned STALLIE : 1;
unsigned SOFIE : 1;
unsigned : 1;
};
struct {
unsigned alt_URSTIE : 1;
unsigned alt_UERRIE : 1;
unsigned alt_ACTVIE : 1;
unsigned alt_TRNIE : 1;
unsigned alt_IDLEIE : 1;
unsigned alt_STALLIE : 1;
unsigned alt_SOFIE : 1;
unsigned : 1;
};
} __UIE_t;
Some SFR actually use this. To simplify the generator, *all* structs are
wrapped in unions.
Best regards
