The issues surrounding vector<bool> are entirely unrelated.
Huh? It's entirely related.
The fact that sizeof(bool) * 8 != sizeof(byte) is what causes problems
in vector<bool>
Exactly. This is not the problem here.
(can't treat them like other types, which we can address
directly), and it's also one of the asymmetries bool has with integers
in D (and any other language).
Different situation, same cause: bool doesn't behave like an integer.
The issue discussed here is that some think it behaves too much like an
integer.
Isn't that self-contradictory?
He is saying bool is an integral type in D. (i.e. it can be promoted to
'int' in order to support integer arithmetic.)
I thought we just established that boolean logic isn't integer logic?
Please make sure your statements make sense.
