How to proper working with Union and Sctruct nested

[ozguracar]

I´m trying to create some types that will be used with node-ffi, but I have some doubts about how to use Union and Struct type nested.
Should I define first the nested fields as new types, or can I does directly like this:

union _error {
  BYTE byte;
  struct
  {
    BYTE memoryFull : 1;
    BYTE extEpromError : 1;
    BYTE intEpromError : 1;
    BYTE rtcError : 1;
    BYTE romError : 1;
    BYTE batteryEmpty : 1;
    BYTE : 1;
    BYTE : 1;
  };
};

union _otomatStatus {
  BYTE byte;
  struct
  {
    BYTE sended : 1;
    BYTE received : 1;
    BYTE tickedReduced : 1;
    BYTE tickedFinished : 1;
    BYTE : 1;
    BYTE : 1;
    BYTE : 1;
    BYTE : 1;
  };
};

struct _H_status
{
  union {
    BYTE block[32];
    struct
    {
      BYTE day;
      BYTE month;
      BYTE year;
      BYTE hour;
      BYTE minute;
      BYTE second;
      _error error;
      BYTE state;
      int recordCount;
      union {
        DWORD status;
        struct
        {
          BYTE relay0 : 1;
          BYTE relay1 : 1;
          BYTE relay2 : 1;
          BYTE relay3 : 1;
          BYTE cardOperationCont : 1;
          BYTE newCard : 1;
          BYTE taskEnable : 1;
          BYTE relaxMode : 1;
          BYTE redLed : 1;
          BYTE greenLed : 1;
          BYTE blueLed : 1;
          BYTE accessValue : 1;
          BYTE accessReady : 1;
          BYTE : 1;
          BYTE : 1;
          BYTE : 1;
          BYTE input0 : 1;
          BYTE input1 : 1;
          BYTE : 1;
          BYTE : 1;
          BYTE : 1;
          BYTE : 1;
          BYTE cardWriteOperation : 1;
          BYTE cardWriteResult : 1;
          BYTE battery : 4;
          BYTE registerMode : 1;
          BYTE menuMode : 1;
          BYTE deviceNotWorkingTime : 1;
          BYTE lastPowerType : 1;
        };
      };
      int cardCode;
      WORD accessCode;
      BYTE appIndex;
      BYTE cardMsgNo;
      BYTE inOut;
      int totalCredit;
      _otomatStatus otomatStatus[3];
    };
  };
};

For me, nested StructTypes don't work either.

const someNestedStruct = StructType({
  someThing: StructType({
    somePorperty: ref.types.float,
  }),
  otherThing: StructType({
    someProperty: ref.types.float,
  })
});

AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Unknonwn type: StructType
