Boolean Memory Size Escalation
A bool only takes up one bit of memory! A 1 or a 0. bool byte strict padding Cache line
A programmer explains that a boolean stores only a 1 or a 0, but the joke escalates through increasingly massive representations of bool, byte, struct padding, and finally a cache line. It is a humorous reaction to memory alignment and cache-line overhead making tiny data structures surprisingly large.
