#181504 - Optimal implementation
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Oliver Sedlacek said:
The compiler vendor should have chosen an optimal implementation.

But how do you define "optimal" ?

As this thread shows, the 8051's bit type has features that make it good for some things, and not good for others.

For a general "bool" type, the compiler would have to choose something that'll work in all cases - which probably precludes the bit type...?
