bitfields.c:9: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault 
 
 
ps). /bitfields-related/ 
 
Is there a possibility to turn off the unaligned access 
(via LDRB(H)/STRB(H)) to specified bitfields? 
Many of registers mapped into ARM7's address space don't 
work correctly with such kind of access. The problem 
is that gcc will generate 8/16/32 bits access for bit field 
access depending on the width of the bit field. This is allowed 
for memory based operations if the memeory accepts 8/16/32 
bit transfers (most configurations do), but deadly in case 
of I/O registers that can only be written 32 bits at a time. 
 
Do You plan to introduce something like 
__attribute__((only_full_word_access)) ?
