Is it safe to memset bool to 0?

Question

Suppose I have some legacy code which cannot be changed unless a bug is discovered, and it contains this code:

bool data[32         


        

Answer 1

From 3.9.1/7:

Types bool , char , char16_t , char32_t , wchar_t , and the signed and unsigned integer types are collectively called integral types. A synonym for integral type is integer type . The representations of integral types shall define values by use of a pure binary numeration system.

Given this I can't see any possible implementation of bool that wouldn't represent false as all 0 bits.
