How to allocate some memory to a variable inside of a struct

[tame kindle]

I want to make only 2 bits wide variable inside of my struct and as i know even if i assign int it will take 8 bits of memory, which i can further deallocate to 2 bits, but still, at the start it will take space, how do i make only 2 bits wide type?

[clever ore]

int foo:2;

oh

[clever ore]

however, it's worth doing so only if you have additional such fields

without normal fields between them

otherwise, it's likely to take 4 bytes still

waaitt

forgot to mention, i'm on C

[clever ore]

that is for C

[tame kindle]

does that work on non-struct?

[clever ore]

and C++

no

[tame kindle]

oh

[clever ore]

you can't allocate anything smaller than 1 byte

i know that
