@twinspin6 with the wrong compiler options you can end up with 512 bit bools in c++ iirc

@twinspin6 but they're at least a byte in basically every language

@twinspin6 only in densely packed arrays they're actually a bit, byte is just faster to access than masking out stuff and they're often larger for alighment

@twinspin6 i don't think c even has a concept of data types whose size isn't byte aligned?

struct foo {
int n1 : 4;
int n2: 4;
};
gives you two fields of 4 bits in one byte, if I'm correct
struct foo {
int n1 : 4;
int n2: 4;
};
gives you two fields of 4 bits in one byte, if I'm correct

@meeper @twinspin6 is a bitfield not byte aligned?

@snacks @twinspin6 yeah the bitfield itself is
