Typedefs with specific bit-sizes?

[Byron Stanoszek <gandalf at winds dot org>]

Is it possible in the current version(s) of GCC to define a variable of a
specific size, instead of using the size of another typedef or #define in a
system header file?

For instance, I want to have the following declaration (in C):

struct {
  bool test;
};

to take up the same space as if I was declaring it like:

struct {
  int test:1;
};


Similarly, is there any way to declare a variable in a function with a specific
bit-size like you can in a struct?

Thanks.
