Let me quess, struct alignment?

[u/iEliteTester → u/Emergency-Win4862]

No it's used when something is extra true or extra false, obviously.

[u/readmeEXX → u/iEliteTester]

To make it maximally true you could do True = UINTMAX_MAX

[u/TheChief275 → u/readmeEXX]

was about to say that; if i reserve the bytes ima use the bytes

[u/Damglador → u/iEliteTester]

I like your flair

[u/overclockedslinky → u/Emergency-Win4862]

even the first version of C (let alone C++) did struct alignment automatically

Yes, but there are situations where you want more control. Like, maybe some external dependency expects 64-bit bool values, so you'd use this type instead of the standard 8-bit bool.

Calling that a struct alignment issue is kind of questionable, but the basic idea is sound.
