Internally it will still read a whole word. Because the CPU cannot read less than a word. And if you read the ARM article you linked, it literally says so.
Thus any compiler worth their salt will align all byte variables to words for faster memory access. Unless you specifically disable such behaviour. So yeah, RTFM :)
Sorry, but you’re very confused here.
It’s not wasteful, it’s faster. You can’t read one byte, you can only read one word. Every decent compiler will turn booleans into words.
They do, that’s the optimisation.
Usually the most effective way is to read and write the same amount of bits as the architecture of the CPU, so for 64 bit CPUs it’s 64 bits at once.
And performance optimisation of a compiler for a 64 bit CPU will realign everything and each boolean will occupy 8 bytes instead.
There is a water shortage?
Everyone should freak out, because it’s an utter lunacy.
I have no clue who are “we” in your case, but we don’t tax property.
There’s a slight issue though - it can’t.
You can’t tax wealth. Wealth is not money.
Wealth is not money.
The only way to get rid of poverty is to get rid of the poor.
Read the manifesto.
You need a link?
Literally his manifesto.
Marx was a genocidal maniac. You shouldn’t read much into his lunacy.
I don’t understand where the author got the idea that git was production ready in 10 days… Let’s look at git history:
No good software is released in 10 days.
The fuck are you talking about, kiddo? Read the fucking docs!
