@encode(BOOL) == c but @encode(bool) == 'B'?
It's about size. BOOL, bool (and, Boolean, too) all have different
sizes. That's for historcial reasons (padding, alignment on the 680x0
series of CPUs etc.), and it's actually a *feature* that Apple
thought of letting you save these non-ObjC data types (bool and
Boolean).
If Apple really wanted to see more apps on the platform - they'd fix
this basic Basic BASIC stuff so I could quit spending all my
development time working around their bugs and actually get to
features for my app.
As I said, it's not a bug. This is completely correct behavior.
