- True=7 -
Having lots of very low-level code and hardware experience, I developed a bit
of tendancy to "minimize what can go wrong at low levels" - C treats 0==FALSE
and !0==TRUE - most people use 0/1 ... but thats only 1 bit "difference". I
sometimes use 7=TRUE as thats 3 bits with no more chars to type (and of course
foolish as such a 1 bit hardware error would "trash" pretty much any system -
but I do tend to be a creature of habit :)
I have never heard of this convention before! Was "random bitflips messing with your conditionals" a common problem back in the day?
