bool can be one byte -- the smallest addressable size of CPU, or can be bigger. It's not unusual to have bool to be the size of int for performance purposes. If for specific purposes (say hardware simulation) you need a type with N bits, you can find a library for that (e.g. GBL library has BitSet<N> class). If you are concerned with size of bool (you probably have a big container,) then you can pack bits yourself, or use std::vector<bool> that will do it for you (be careful with the latter, as it doesn't satisfy container requirments).

考虑一下如何在模拟器级别实现这一点……

bool a[10] = {false};

bool &rbool = a[3];
bool *pbool = a + 3;

assert(pbool == &rbool);
rbool = true;
assert(*pbool);
*pbool = false;
assert(!rbool);

因为字节是语言中最小的可寻址单位。

但是你可以让bool值为1位，如果你有很多 如。在结构体中，像这样:

struct A
{
  bool a:1, b:1, c:1, d:1, e:1;
};

位操作并不“慢”。

和/或操作往往很快。

问题是对齐和解决它的简单问题。

cpu作为部分正确回答的答案通常与读取字节对齐，RAM/内存也以同样的方式设计。

因此，为了使用更少的内存空间，必须显式地对数据压缩进行排序。

As one answer suggested, you could order a specific number of bits per value in a struct. However what does the CPU/memory do afterward if it's not aligned? That would result in unaligned memory where instead of just +1 or +2, or +4, there's not +1.5 if you wanted to use half the size in bits in one value, etc. so it must anyway fill in or revert the remaining space as blank, then simply read the next aligned space, which are aligned by 1 at minimum and usually by default aligned by 4(32bit) or 8(64bit) overall. The CPU will generally then grab the byte value or the int value that contains your flags and then you check or set the needed ones. So you must still define memory as int, short, byte, or the proper sizes, but then when accessing and setting the value you can explicitly compress the data and store those flags in that value to save space; but many people are unaware of how it works, or skip the step whenever they have on/off values or flag present values, even though saving space in sent/recv memory is quite useful in mobile and other constrained enviornments. In the case of splitting an int into bytes it has little value, as you can just define the bytes individually (e.g. int 4Bytes; vs byte Byte1;byte Byte2; byte Byte3; byte Byte4;) in that case it is redundant to use int; however in virtual environments that are easier like Java, they might define most types as int (numbers, boolean, etc.) so thus in that case, you could take advantage of an int dividing it up and using bytes/bits for an ultra efficient app that has to send less integers of data (aligned by 4). As it could be said redundant to manage bits, however, it is one of many optimizations where bitwise operations are superior but not always needed; many times people take advantage of high memory constraints by just storing booleans as integers and wasting 'many magnitudes' 500%-1000% or so of memory space anyway. It still easily has its uses, if you use this among other optimizations, then on the go and other data streams that only have bytes or few kb of data flowing in, it makes the difference if overall you optimized everything to load on whether or not it will load,or load fast, at all in such cases, so reducing bytes sent could ultimately benefit you alot; even if you could get away with oversending tons of data not required to be sent in an every day internet connection or app. It is definitely something you should do when designing an app for mobile users and even something big time corporation apps fail at nowadays; using too much space and loading constraints that could be half or lower. The difference between not doing anything and piling on unknown packages/plugins that require at minumim many hundred KB or 1MB before it loads, vs one designed for speed that requires say 1KB or only fewKB, is going to make it load and act faster, as you will experience those users and people who have data constraints even if for you loading wasteful MB or thousand KB of unneeded data is fast.

最简单的答案是;这是因为CPU以字节而不是位来寻址内存，按位的操作非常慢。

然而，在c++中可以使用位分配。对于位向量，有std::vector专门化，还有接受位大小条目的结构。

Back in the old days when I had to walk to school in a raging blizzard, uphill both ways, and lunch was whatever animal we could track down in the woods behind the school and kill with our bare hands, computers had much less memory available than today. The first computer I ever used had 6K of RAM. Not 6 megabytes, not 6 gigabytes, 6 kilobytes. In that environment, it made a lot of sense to pack as many booleans into an int as you could, and so we would regularly use operations to take them out and put them in.

今天，当人们嘲笑你只有1gb的RAM，而你唯一能找到小于200gb的硬盘的地方是在古董店，它只是不值得麻烦打包比特。
