How to convert any value to vector

I'm trying to convert any object to std::vector<bool> (representing bits set in memory to strore the object).

So, for uint16_t(0x1234), I want to get std::vector<bool> ‭0001001000110100‬. And for float(3.14f), which is ‭0x4048F5C3‬ in memory, I want to get std::vector<bool> ‭‭01000000010010001111010111000011‬.

Based on this post, I tried this:

template<typename T>
std::vector<bool> val2Array(T val)
{
    size_t count = sizeof(T)*CHAR_BIT;
    std::vector<bool> result( count );
    for (size_t i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        T temp = 1 << (count - i - 1);
        if ( val & temp )
            result[i] = true;
        else
            result[i] = false;
    }

    return result;
}

This works fine, but I get an error when T is not numerical (float), due to << operator.

Is there any other way to convert any value to a std::vector<bool>? I found lots of code showing how to convert std::vector<bool> to a value but not the way around.
