c++ - What happens when you call data() on a std::vector<bool>?

Question

C++11 has implemented data() member function on std::vector, which gives you a pointer to the memory array. Does this mean the template specialization std::vector<bool> have this member as well? Since this specialization doesn't store the data in terms of bool *, what kind of behavior can you expect from calling data() ?

Answer 1

It won't compile, unless your implementation has a non-standard extension. The specialisation of std::vector<bool>, as specified in C++11 23.3.7/1, doesn't declare a data member.
