To use memory efficiently, bit field can be used. when a programmer knows what would be range of an information while storing in structure, he/she can use bit field.
For example:
struct
{
int x:3;
int y: 5
} A;

Parsing C enum/structure/union/arrays using -fdump-translation-unit of GCC

I am using the -fdump-translation-unit option of GCC to parse C enum/structure/union/arrays. Consider the below code

enum eDAY
{
 monday = 0,
 tuesday,
 wednesday
};

enum eDAY day = monday;

I can get all the members of the enumerator parsing the dump of GCC. But if the below declaration was not present

enum eDAY day = monday;

GCC's dump doesn't have any information about the members of the enumerator. The same problem exists with structures/unions etc. How can I solve this problem. Is there some kind of optimization flag which I need to turn off so that GCC parses all the objects even if it is not used ?
