Merge

Flag word should be merged into Flag (computing). I believe that the article is basically talking about status registers. It needs sources and citations but a merge into this article is highly appropriate. WTucker (talk) 02:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Authority

I am not aware of any clear definition of the word flag in the context of software. I assume that there are clear definitions relevant to more specific contexts, but nothing specific in the context of programming generally. A flag might be a boolean value or it might be some other type of data such as a character. The term flag was used extensively when I was a COBOL programmer and at that time there was no such thing as bit flags (as described in this article) in the COBOL language. So any definition of the word flag should definitely have an authority. Sam Tomato (talk) 16:07, 7 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
