+/* Unpack a bitfield of the specified FIELD_TYPE, from the object at
+ VALADDR, and store the result in *RESULT.
+ The bitfield starts at BITPOS bits and contains BITSIZE bits; if
+ BITSIZE is zero, then the length is taken from FIELD_TYPE.
+
+ Extracting bits depends on endianness of the machine. Compute the
+ number of least significant bits to discard. For big endian machines,
+ we compute the total number of bits in the anonymous object, subtract
+ off the bit count from the MSB of the object to the MSB of the
+ bitfield, then the size of the bitfield, which leaves the LSB discard
+ count. For little endian machines, the discard count is simply the
+ number of bits from the LSB of the anonymous object to the LSB of the
+ bitfield.
+
+ If the field is signed, we also do sign extension. */
