How does this library handle bool type variables?

[skleeschulte]

I wonder how this library handles bool type variables. Will each single boolean occupie one byte, or is there some optimization in place to use only one bit per boolean?

[rlogiacco]

The library doesn't do any particular optimization on a per data-type basis, in other words the occupied memory is n * sizeOf(dataType) where n is the circular buffer size and sizeOf(dataType) is the memory occupation for a particular data type. On certain architectures, a byte actually occupies 4 bytes and in practically any architecture I know a bool takes an entire byte.

If you have the need for bit manipulation you need a specialized implementation which, if done properly, is going to be a welcome addition 😉
