In short, when passing a bitfield as parameter, each bit is converted to bytes
before being tested instead of a simple mask and test.
 Is there a way to disable bit to bytes conversion by a compilation switch,
I have never seen that producing better code up to now?

$ cat tmp2.c
struct mouse_button_str {
        unsigned char left      : 1;
        unsigned char right     : 1;
        unsigned char middle    : 1;
        } button;

char fct (struct mouse_button_str newbutton)
{
        return (newbutton.left && newbutton.right && newbutton.middle);
}
