>Description:
Attached test case expecting the size of complete structure C to be 16 bytes.

  struct C {
    char c;
    int i : 67;
    char d;
  };

This is what been offered by GNU compiler for a long time. GCC 3.1.1 compiler gives another size of the structure (24 bytes).

I do not see any reason to enlarge space taken by the structure C, moreover I do not see any ABI acknowledgment for this. 

So, the bitfield allocation strategy looks to be erroneously changed.
>How-To-Repeat:
$g++ foo.cpp
$a.out

Actuall results (output):
sizeof(C) = 24
offsetof(C, d) = 17

Expected results (output):
sizeof(C) = 16
offsetof(C, d) = 13
