[RFC PATCH] bits_in_bool should be 8

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Given that we're working with byte-addressable machines, each type must
be at least one byte in size or you'd not be able to take a pointer to
it.

Noticed at random when I ran the sample "compile" program in the
sparse source tree vs. a test C program that uses bools. It crashes
without this patch.
