Edit Question
Title
Body
As (hopefully) we all know, vector<bool> is totally broken and can't be treated as a C array. What is the best way to get this functionality? So far, the ideas I have thought of are: Use a vector<char> instead, or Use a wrapper class and have vector<bool_wrapper> How do you guys handle this problem? I need the c_array() functionality. As a side question, if I don't need the c_array() method, what is the best way to approach this problem if I need random access? Should I use a deque or something else? Edit: I do need dynamic sizing. For those who don't know, vector<bool> is specialized so that each bool takes 1 bit. Thus you can't convert it to a C-style array. I guess "wrapper" is a bit of a misnomer. I was thinking something like this: Of course, then I have to read into a my_bool due to possible alignment issues :( struct my_bool { bool the_bool; }; vector<my_bool> haha_i_tricked_you;
