bool8: Alternative Bool type stored as byte
The standard Bool
type has a Storable
instance
that requires the size of HTYPE_INT
,
i.e. usually four bytes or even more.
This package provides Bool8
,
a boolean type with an 8 bit representation in memory.
It is not a drop-in replacement for Bool
though.
You have to convert from or to Bool
occasionally.
Starting with GHC-8.2/base-4.10 you also have Foreign.C.Types.CBool
.
