>Description:
On an s390 system, static initialization of a struct
containing bit-fields is sometimes confused by a zero-length
bit-field.  In particular, the bit-field following the
zero-length bit-field is often initialized incorrectly.  If
I initialize the struct's fields using assignment
statements, I don't see the bug.

Hartmut Penner (GCC for S/390 Development) says: "I think
this is not a backend problem, but a problem in gcc-2.95.3.
On my Linux intel system, your testcase also generates bad
code.  The produced code looks pretty strange. You should
post it on the gcc mailing list Link found under
gcc.gnu.org."
>How-To-Repeat:
With gcc on an x86 system, I get the expected behavior:
cc bad3.c
./a.out
i1 = 1
i2 = 1
i3 = 1
On an s390 system, I get:
cc bad3.c
./a.out
i1 = 1
i2 = 0
i3 = 1
----- bad3.c -----
extern int printf(const char *format, ...);
extern void exit(int status);

struct bf1 {
        int     i1:3;
        int     :0;
        int     i2:3;
        int     i3:3;
};

struct bf1 v1 = {1, 1, 1};

main()
{
        printf("i1 = %d\n", v1.i1);
        printf("i2 = %d\n", v1.i2);
        printf("i3 = %d\n", v1.i3);
        exit(0);
}
>Fix:
Fix: unknown.  Workaround: Initialize the struct using
assignment statements.
