Without bit fields how I would assign it exact 27-bit timestamp?

It is mentioned on https://diamon.org/ctf/#ex-variants that we can use
union in C for variant data-type.

In metadata enum in header_compact is defined like this:
enum : uint5_t { compact = 0 ... 30, extended = 31 } id;
It has two members. The compact members has range from 0 to 31 but we can't
define range in enum members in C

I looked into the Trace Compass example. The content in the binary file is
formatted as follow:

<magic><uuid><stream_id><stream_instance_id><packet_context>
This much we have already achieved.
 Now

< 8-bit data. It is always in 31( 1F )> <32-bit event_id> <64-bit
timestamp> <event_fields>

Now after this

<32-bit data> <event_fields> again <32-bit data> <event_fields> agina <
32-bit data> <event_fields> ....

I am not able to understand what this <32-bit data> is between every
<event_fields>

Okay
