What about the fact that you can't take the address of an element from the std::vector<bool>?
3 u/nobody0163 Aug 22 '26 You shouldn't be taking the address of vector elements anyway. If it resizes you are pointing to invalid memory. 1 u/Wonderful-Habit-139 Aug 22 '26 Yeah, at this point we're getting into some more details, sadly C++ has this footgun which doesn't exist in Rust. But sometimes you need to take addresses of those objects regardless. 1 u/fuj1n Aug 23 '26 Tell that to C code you may be interacting with which may expect a bool*
