sload. assembly with struct - not working in solidity

Question

struct S { 
   uint128 a; 
   uint128 b; 
}
S test1;
function assemblyStorage() public returns (uint a, uint b, uint c, uint d, uint f, uint g){
  test1 = S(5,10);
  assembly {
     a:=sload(0)
  }
}

As we can see, test1 now will occupy the first slot. and not the second one since variables can be packed...

Now, why does sload(0) returns something like this 3402823669209384634633746074317682114565 and how can I return 5 and 10 ?

Answer 1

As you said the struct is packed. Since sload(0) returns 32 bytes it is returning the whole struct.

To access the indiviual parts of the struct use bit shifts and masks.

assembly {
    let w := sload(0)
    a := and(w, 0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff)
    b := shr(128, w)
}
