Hello PIClisters.

I'm trying to do a bit array in Hi-Tech C, and could not get to a way of
doing so.

I'm used to do the following when I want to use bits:

union STATUS_Def {
    char bytes[2];
    struct    {
        unsigned     STT_INTR:1;
        unsigned     STT_SNSR:1;
        unsigned     STT_SYNC:1;
        unsigned     STT_TIMR:1;
        ...
        ...
    } bits
} Status


Then I can use

    Status.bytes[1]= 0x5A;
    Status.bits.STT_TIMR = 1;

and the assembly code would really resemble "hand made".

But on such way i have a name for every and each pixel, and I want to
access then in an indexed bit array.

Of course, I can make a macro such as:

#define bitset (var,index)    ( (var) |= 1 << (index) );
#define bitread (var,index)   ( (var) & ~ ( 1 << (index) );
#define bitclear (var,index)   ( (var) &= ~ ( 1 << (index) );

But I was willing for something like this (or a close approach, of course):

stactic bit BitAry[32] ;

Any ideas?

Thanks
Francisco
