Let me give you another example. I see a lot of people use bitwise expressions so that they can use single-byte variables (f.e. a char) to store information for 8 different flags (true or false booleans). I'd rather use an array of 8 booleans to do this, to make the code more readable, even if C's booleans take 8 bits each. But that's just me..
i agree. I hate it when people do it because it deviates from the standard "look" of the rest of the code, so when reading through it, or even trying to reuse the code there is an unfamiliar convention about it.
