why do you need this? i.e. why isn't the traits below enough?

[Bernhard Bauer, 2011/09/27 21:21:39]

std::vector has a specialization for bool which uses more compact storage
(storing eight bools in a byte), but it means that it can't return a pointer to
an individual item, and that's what the ParamTraits below uses. 

[jam, 2011/09/29 01:03:32]

what paramtraits below are you talking about? 

[Bernhard Bauer, 2011/09/29 13:20:47]

ParamTraits<std::vector<P> > takes the address of the i-th element of the vector
(line 549), and that's not possible if you have a more compact storage than one
byte per element.

ah, nm now i get it. I was familiar with vector's optimization for bool, but I
thought you were doing this change for something specific in your new message.
I'm very surprised that we never sent a vector of bools before! Even if you
don't end up using it in your new IPC, of course please leave this as it'll be
useful to have.
