Andy,

K&R only define bit fields inside of struct's, as some kind of
redefinition of an int's, and state:
"They are not arrays, and they do not have addresses, so the &
operator cannot be applied to them"
which means also that there are no pointers to bits.
Of course, these features would be very nice to have, but they would
be an unportable extension of C.

Kind regards,
Wolfgang
