Standards compliance: - must be #included before 'bool', 'false', 'true' can be used. - You cannot assume that sizeof (bool) == 1. - Programs should not undefine the macros bool, true, and false, as C99 lists that as an "obsolescent feature". Limitations of this substitute, when used in a C89 environment: - must be #included before the '_Bool' type can be used. - You cannot assume that _Bool is a typedef; it might be a macro. - Bit-fields of type 'bool' are not supported. Portable code should use 'unsigned int foo : 1;' rather than 'bool foo : 1;'. - In C99, casts and automatic conversions to '_Bool' or 'bool' are performed in such a way that every nonzero value gets converted to 'true', and zero gets converted to 'false'. This doesn't work with this substitute. With this substitute, only the values 0 and 1 give the expected result when converted to _Bool' or 'bool'. Also, it is suggested that programs use 'bool' rather than '_Bool'; this isn't required, but 'bool' is more common. */ /* 7.16. Boolean type and values */ /* BeOS already #defines false 0, true 1.

It is tempting to write typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool; so that gdb prints values of type 'bool' symbolically. But if we do this, values of type '_Bool' may promote to 'int' or 'unsigned int' (see ISO C 99 6.7.2.2.(4)); however, '_Bool' must promote to 'int' (see ISO C 99 6.3.1.1.(2)). So we add a negative value to the enum; this ensures that '_Bool' promotes to 'int'. */ #if defined __cplusplus || (defined __BEOS__ && !defined __HAIKU__) /* A compiler known to have 'bool'. */ /* If the compiler already has both 'bool' and '_Bool', we can assume they are the same types. */ # if !@HAVE__BOOL@ typedef bool _Bool; # endif #else # if !defined __GNUC__ /* If @HAVE__BOOL@: Some HP-UX cc and AIX IBM C compiler versions have compiler bugs when the built-in _Bool type is used.

Use of a typedef, with SunPRO C, leads to a stupid "warning: _Bool is a keyword in ISO C99". Use of an enum type, with IRIX cc, leads to a stupid "warning(1185): enumerated type mixed with another type". Even the existence of an enum type, without a typedef, "Invalid enumerator. (badenum)" with HP-UX cc on Tru64. The only benefit of the enum, debuggability, is not important with these compilers. So use 'signed char' and no enum. */ # define _Bool signed char # else /* With this compiler, trust the _Bool type if the compiler has it. */ # if !@HAVE__BOOL@ typedef enum { _Bool_must_promote_to_int = -1, false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool; # endif # endif #endif #define bool _Bool /* The other macros must be usable in preprocessor directives. */ #define false 0 #define true 1 #define __bool_true_false_are_defined 1 #endif /* _GL_STDBOOL_H */
