Try this:

struct {
  unsigned notify : 1;
 unsigned valid : 1;
 unsigned finish : 1;
 unsigned demo : 1;
 unsigned alert : 1;
 unsigned encourage : 1;
 unsigned exercise : 1;
 unsigned grace : 1;
>  } flags;

switch ( * (unsigned char *) (void *) &flags)
{
}

This will fool the compiler into treating the 1-byte structure as a simple
unsigned character.
