I'm not familiar with it, but I agree that perhaps a flags class/template would be a smart way to clean up the situation. If it would solve the issues. I know I'm always happier using a provided set/test API than manually masking stuff. As long as it doesn't bloat the data size beyond the simple storage of the flag word. as long as we don't make any of it virtual, I think it would be ok. Though I don't know how RTTI adds to the class per-instance weight of a real class (as opposed to a built-in type like unsigned long int).
