I keep seeing '[snip]' lately but I don't know what it means.

This should be !!d->monitor.initialised.

It's the value of a bit, thus should be 0 or 1. Am I missing something?
Using a bitfield is effectively doing a bitmask for the bit(s).
However, returning the value after applying a bitmask is not
necessarily 0/1 (ie. bool_t). For example I ran into problems with
this in the past (see
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-08/msg01948.html).

Tamas

The example you provided actually returns a value &-ed with a flag (bitmask), of course it returns either 0 or the flag itself :-). AFAIK a single-bit item in a bitfield (note a -bitfield-, not e.g. an unsigned int &-ed with (1<<x)) will always be either 0 or 1.
