  • Do the semantics of BooleanArray allow storage of undef values? You'll need an extra bit, if so....

    • Well, basically it is up to you, as the standard PMCs are a design matter.

      However, if BooleanArray should keep track of definedness, then I propose to have a BitVector PMC with the current behavior.

      What is also missing for PMCs, is a standard way of passing setup params. For the FixedBooleanArray it would be nice to pass an initial size and an initial storage size. Thus an FixedBooleanArray could start with a size of 0 and grow up to the allocated size.
