Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] BItfields Larger than 32 Bits

From: Michal Labedzki <michal.labedzki@xxxxxxxxx>

I have new idea: leave current 32bit mask as is, add two new fields
(or [pointer to?] structure): "bit offset" and "bit length". This
works only for contiguous masks, but I think it is ok. For example:
1111000111
bitoffset = 4
bitlength = 3
Result: ..110.....

This should be suffice for a long time (UINT32_MAX bits are supported).

Or... just use arrays[+array size] of [uint64 | uint32 | uint8, etc.]
 and fill it... (pros: can use 128 bitfield etc.)
