[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit] FFI: Shrink container of packed bitfield.

[Evgeniy Temirgaleev]

Hi, Sergey! Thanks for the patch!

LGTM after updating the test. I tried the test and it passed without the fix.

To check container bit size calculation we can add a field at bit 16. It’s byte offset with invalid calculation will be 0 and it will be 2 with the fixed calculation.

The output of the test with check printing:

Without the fix:

TAP version 13
1..2
XX-R: 4
ok - correct 0-initialization
XX: 4
XX-R: 4
ok - bitfield set correctly
# align=2 sz=4
# bitfield ofs=0 bitofs=0 bitsize=1
# bitfield15 ofs=0 bitofs=1 bitsize=15
# bitfield16 ofs=0 bitofs=16 bitsize=1

With the fix:

TAP version 13
1..2
XX-R: 2
ok - correct 0-initialization
XX: 2
XX-R: 2
ok - bitfield set correctly
# align=2 sz=4
# bitfield ofs=0 bitofs=0 bitsize=1
# bitfield15 ofs=0 bitofs=1 bitsize=15
# bitfield16 ofs=2 bitofs=0 bitsize=1

The update for the code with check prints:

> This patch fixes it by adjusting the size of the bitfield container when
