How to assert `bool` array equality?

[GulgDev]

bool has no guaranteed size in C, but Unity provides no way to assert bool array specifically.

[Letme]

UINT8 is most common. Why would you want to have bool assert? Then you need to inckude either stdbool.h or stdlib or stdint or even worse in some compilers even stdio. What would be the advantage of it?
Bool array is simply array comparison

Not sure exactly what @Letme meant but I'll throw in that bool is far more expressive than uint8_t or char or unsigned char, and including stdbool.h is not going to harm anybody - it's extremely lightweight and standard. If you hate including it, then _Bool is an option. Also, in C23, true and false are actual keywords and _Bool is a proper distinct (first class) type rather than an alias for integers, which helps enforce much better typing when it comes to variables that should truly be boolean.

With that said, @GulgDev, for the sake of testing, I would just type-cast a bool/_Bool variable/function return value to one of the integer types and then use the corresponding TEST_ASSERT_. In your case of an array, iterate over the array, and along the way, type-cast and perform your test assertions accordingly.

For expressiveness, you might want to #define a TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL_BOOL_ARRAY() macro in the same way that the macros in unity.h does for other macros. You could then map it to the correct array comparison for that platform (USUALLY a bool is a single size for a particular target). This could be in a unity_helper.h allowing you to add other custom assertions too, if you come across more. This would also give the option of using them through cmock if needed.

I believe, @GulgDev , that you're also suggesting this might want to be a standard macro added to unity. I'm not against that idea. For the reasons you cite already, it would likely involve some options so a dev can target their platform properly... perhaps optionally include stdbool the way we look for stdint?
