Do I miss some point?
I can imagine bits being allocated in words to avoid endianess problems. So
it could be a deliberate deviation for portabilities sake.
That the implementation needs to be different to support different
platforms I can understand. Delphi implementation uses asm code which
make it i386 specific.
What I find harder to swallow is that a size of 31 is reported, when the
allocated size is 1 and the available size is 32.
Current implementation makes it impossible to detect if an OpenBit has
actually created a grow of the bitlist or not, which is necessary if the
bitlist is used to keep track of other objects being allocated.
If nobody else is taking care of the matter, as I have a test case
ready, I could try and fix TBits implementation, in oder to keep
portability but to provide self-consistency, and submit a patch.
Kind regards,
Giuliano
