Also, the above union assumes that the long double value is stored in the
same byte order as the members of the struct. It also assumes that the long
double occupies exactly 10 bytes and isn't padded in the wrong end.
And, as you say, it's not defined whether that sign bit will be the lowest
or highest bit of that 16-bit bitfield. (I don't think the standard even
guarantees that the 1-bit will be stored in the same bytes as the 15-bits.)
You could make some compile-time checks to see that the union will have
the proper internal structure (and refuse to compile otherwise), although
IIRC there's no way to check endianess at compile time (unless C++20
added some new features to do that).
