That’s not a problem of performance. When I see this I simply
wonder why
a long is used while a boolean would be sufficient. Statistical
interest, why not, although here it only exists when doing a manual
debugging session.
That’s not a very big deal anyway since here the class is small, but
when you encounter such variables in hundreds of other lines of codes,
believe me, it takes a while before figuring out that they are
actually
used as booleans...
True, or should I say 'one' :-)
Funny, this description somehow reminds me of the times when I
familiarized myself with the "good old" Win32 API... ;-)
