bool :1, uchar :1 or uint :1 could make sense. uchar:1/bool:1 won't save
any space here, because the surrounding fields are either uint or
pointers, so alignment will just add padding.

I try to use int/uint whenever possible because x86 CPUs tend to get
less register false-dependencies when using instructions modifying the
whole register (generated by using int/uint types) rather than only part
of it (uchar/char/bool). I only use char/uchar/bool when there is a
clear wanted space gain.

The reason why I never use the bool type within a structure when I want
a compact representation is that bool takes a whole byte just to
represent one bit:

struct usebitfield {
int a;
unsigned int f:1, g:1, h:1, i:1, j:1;
int b;
};

struct usebool {
int a;
bool f, g, h, i, j;
int b;
};

struct useboolbf {
int a;
bool f:1, g:1, h:1, i:1, j:1;
int b;
};

int main()
{
printf("bitfield %d bytes, bool %d bytes, boolbitfield %d bytes\n",
sizeof(struct usebitfield), sizeof(struct usebool),
sizeof(struct useboolbf));
}

result:

bitfield 12 bytes, bool 16 bytes, boolbitfield 12 bytes

This is because each bool takes one byte, while the bitfields are put in
units of "unsigned int" (or bool for the 3rd struct). So in this
example, we need 5 bytes + 3 bytes alignment for the bool, but only 4
bytes to hold the "unsigned int" unit for the bitfields.

The choice between bool and bitfields must also take into account the
frequency of access to the variable, because bitfields require mask
operations to access the selected bit(s). You will notice that none of
these bitfields are accessed on the tracing fast-path: only in
slow-paths. Therefore, space gain is more important than speed here.

One might argue that I have so few of these fields here that it does not
make an actual difference to go for bitfield or bool. I am just trying
to choose types best suited for their intended purpose, ensuring they
are future-proof and will allow simply adding more fields using the same
type, as needed.

So I guess I'll go for unsigned int :1 (rather than uint:1, so we
keep source-level compatibility with user-space LTTng-UST).
