D - Way to express bitfields?

In D, is there a way to express

typedef struct {
  struct {
    union {
      unsigned long  F1   : 25;
      unsigned long  F2   :  7;
      };
    unsigned long all;
  };
  } Bitfields;

and still have it fit in a single long?

Is that written correctly? Why would you have a union of bitfields? The way it's currently written would take more than 4 bytes in C/C++ also. Do you mean: typedef struct { union { struct { unsigned long F1 : 25; unsigned long F2 : 7; }; unsigned long all; }; } Bitfields; ? That only takes the space of one long. -- // DDevil
