[PATCH] D131255: Fix Wbitfield-constant-conversion on 1-bit signed bitfield

[Shawn Zhong via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

ShawnZhong added inline comments.


================
Comment at: clang/lib/Sema/SemaChecking.cpp:13069
-  // therefore don't strictly fit into a signed bitfield of width 1.
-  if (FieldWidth == 1 && Value == 1)
-    return false;

FWIW, this is the kind of situation I was thinking this diagnostic would help make far more clear: https://godbolt.org/z/336n9xex3 (not that I expect people to write that static assert, but I very much expect people who assign the value 1 into a bit-field and then check for the value 1 to come back out are going to be surprised).
