Don't know how. All I can do it try a couple of testcases that should
expose the tricky parts, I have done that. The code works flawlessly.
Storing a bitfield, loading from a bitfield, incing a bitfield....
a long long bitfield, an int bitfield... I cannot get it to fail,
therefore I cannot fix it. My working assumption is there are
no bugs.
If we find one, I know how to fix it, but I just need a pointer to
the failure. I have generally reviewed the code, and it all seems
reasonable.
