[previous] 0644 [next] [C] Width of bit-field must be no bigger than the width of an 'int'.
Constraint violations REFERENCE - ISO:C90-6.5.2.1 Structure and Union Specifiers - Constraints

This is a constraint error

The width of this bit-field exceeds the number of bits in an 'int' type, as configured with the -size option (compiler personality). This is not permitted.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 553,3131,3621 ++*/

struct ST
{
   unsigned int xbit: 48;     /* Message 0644 - unless int contains at least as many bits */
};
