To answer my own question: This works: var bitfield: UnsafeMutableRawPointer bitfield = UnsafeMutableRawPointer( malloc(888)) But then this stops working: let theByte = self.bitfield[ 5 ] Somehow the bitfield must know that it is a field of bytes (not shorts, ints or whatever). But how? Gerriet. _______________________________________________ swift-users mailing list swift-users@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-users
