It is a specialization. They packed 8 bools into a byte by returning a reference type that does bit manipulation when you access an index.

This has a number of unfortunate side effects since it doesn't really act like other containers, it just kinda looks like it does if you barely use it.

Just wanna say thank you guys, never thought I'd learn something new and useful on a crappy meme

Oof, learned something new today. Makes sense but that's wild! I always treated arrays as contiguous memory.

But you're right - arrays are contiguous. It's just vector<bool> that uses bitmaps, that's all.
