Explain the  bit fields portable or not?

- No, Bit fields aren't portable.

- As Bit fields can't span machine words and number of bits in a machine word is different on different machines, a particular program using bit fields might not compile on some machines.

- One must avoid using bit fields except when machines can directly address bits in memory and compiler can generate code.
