C++ bitfield packing with bools

Question

I\'ve just done a test with bitfields, and the results are surprising me.

class test1 {
public:
    bool test_a:1;
    bool test_b:1;
    bool test_c:1;
            


        

Answer 1

#include 
using namespace std;

bool ary_bool4[10];

struct MyStruct {
    bool a1 :1;
    bool a2 :1;
    bool a3 :1;
    bool a4 :1;
    char b1 :2;
    char b2 :2;
    char b3 :2;
    char b4 :6;
    char c1;
};

int main() {
    cout << "char size:\t" << sizeof(char) << endl;
    cout << "short int size:\t" << sizeof(short int) << endl;
    cout << "default int size:\t" << sizeof(int) << endl;
    cout << "long int size:\t" << sizeof(long int) << endl;
    cout << "long long int size:\t" << sizeof(long long int) << endl;
    cout << "ary_bool4 size:\t" << sizeof(ary_bool4) << endl;
    cout << "MyStruct size:\t" << sizeof(MyStruct) << endl;
    // cout << "long long long int size:\t" << sizeof(long long long int) << endl;
    return 0;
}

char size: 1
short int size: 2
default int size: 4
long int size: 4
long long int size: 8
ary_bool4 size: 10
MyStruct size: 3
