std::vector 怎么样<bool> :: 在 C++ 中分配给 bool 类型的引用？

Question

I know std::vector<bool>::reference is a proxy class that is not apparent to users.

It is implicitly converted to bool when assigned to bool type.

How is it possible? type std::vector<bool>::reference is far far from the type bool.

Is there some compiler work under the hood?

Below is the code example

...
    std::vector<bool> v = { true, true, false, false, false };
    std::vector<bool>::reference vr =  v[1];
    bool b = vr; // How is it possible ?
    std::cout << b << std::endl;
...

Answer 1

std::vector<bool>::reference定义operator bool以允许隐式转换为bool 。
