Hi,

I’d like to be able expose a struct defined as a bit field in C++ to python.  Being a neophyte in Boost, I’m wondering if there’s a way to doing this.  I’m trying the method that I used when exposing a conventional struct, but the intellisense in Visual Studio is complaining to me that bit-fields can’t be exposed.  I’m sure most on this list know what I mean, but just in case:

struct bitField {

    char bit1 : 1;

    char bit2 : 1;

    char bit34 : 2;

    char bit567 : 3;

    char bit8 : 1;

};

class_<bitField>(“BitField”)

    .def_readwrite(“bit1”, &bitField::bit1)

    .def_readwrite(“bit2”, &bitField::bit2)

    .def_readwrite(“bit34”, &bitField::bit34)

    .def_readwrite(“bit567”, &bitField::bit567)

    .def_readwrite(“bit8”, &bitField::bit8)

;

Is there a way of doing this?  This pattern is what I used to expose a conventional struct.

Thanks,

Andy
