The ! operator is used twice in this context to convert the type of bitstreamFile to bool. It is shorter than (bitstreamFile != 0), which has type bool. The type of bistreamFile by itself is not bool. It depends on how strict you are as a programmer and how strict the compiler is. I consider it good coding practice.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

I made a quick test with clang and it generates exactly the same assembler code for implicit conversion as for the double negation.

I guess, it's fine as it it, but I don't have strong feelings...

Closing as won't fix. Feel free to reopen, if you think we should change it.
