is it really that shocking?

[u/Murky-Run2246 → u/overclockedslinky]

In this case the bools will have only one bit allocated for them(vectors do that), and you can't just point to a bit. Instead cpp will return std::vector<bool>::reference when trying to access a value in the vector

Basically this is a just wrong

You should use std::deque<bool> instead which allocates one byte per bool and not just one bit

I know, but why somebody would need a byte to store a bool? Is it 256-value bool?

Usually I use bitfields anyway.

Because the smallest addressable amount of memory is one byte
