  • 0

I didn’t know. just saw it in my debug window a BOOLEAN from STORAGE_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR was resolving to 2 instead of of 1. I got panicked thinking 2 means false. then I realized its 1 for true. But why this kind of odd design ? Or I am doing something wrong in my side ? never heard of anything like multibyte boolean. (BTW I am using MinGW and Qt Creator IDE’s Debugger)
