一，结论

关于boolean占用内存是多少，我在JVM规范中找到以下解释，但是怎么验证呢？

虚拟机没有给boolean(布尔)类型设置单独指令。boolean型的数据是有integer指令，包括interger返回来处理的。boolean型数组则是用byte数组来处理的。

二，验证

写了两个简单的程序，使用jclasslib查看字节码，对照Java虚拟机指令集后验证结论正确。

 Chapter 6. The Java Virtual Machine Instruction Set

1，boolean型的数据=>32位

代码

public class Test1Type {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        boolean a=true;
        byte b=1;
        System.out.println(a);
        System.out.println(b);
    }
}

对照图

2，boolean数组型=>8位

代码

public class Test1Type {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        boolean[] a=new boolean[]{true};
        byte[] b=new byte[]{1};
        System.out.println(a[0]);
        System.out.println(b[0]);
    }
}

三，查看字节码

如果没有安装jclasslib可以使用javap

javap -v Test1Type.class

输出结果：
