Whether a bit-field declared as type "int" is signed or unsigned
is compiler implementation-defined. As C99 6.7.2 says (there is
similar text in C89):
...for bit-fields, it is implementation-defined whether the
specifier int designates the same type as signed int or the
same type as unsigned int.
Thus, it is never a good idea to declare a bit-field as plain
"int". Declare it as "signed int" or "unsigned int" instead.
