I need to create a very large array of bits/boolean values. How would I do this in C/C++?
- by Eddy
Is it even possible to create an array of bits with more than 100000000 elements? If it is, how would I go about doing this? I know that for a char array I can do this:
char* array;
array = (char*)malloc(100000000 * sizeof(char));
If I was to declare the array by char array[100000000] then I would get a segmentation fault, since the maximum number of elements has been exceeded, which is why I use malloc.
Is there something similar I can do for an array of bits?
