C++: Is it possible to condense `bool` objects within the same byte?

You can use bitfields. Works with Repl.it's gcc version 4.6.3.

#include <iostream>

struct Test 
{
  bool a:1;
  bool b:1;
  bool c:1;
  bool d:1;
  bool e:1;
  bool f:1;
  bool g:1;
  bool h:1;
  //bool i:1; //would increase size to 2 bytes.
};

int main()
{
  Test t;
  std::cout << sizeof(t) << std::endl;
  return 0;
}
