23/* Usage suggestions:
24
25 Programs that use <stdbool.h> should be aware of some limitations
26 and standards compliance issues.
27
28 Standards compliance:
29
30 - <stdbool.h> must be #included before 'bool', 'false', 'true'
31 can be used.
32
33 - You cannot assume that sizeof (bool) == 1.
34
35 - Programs should not undefine the macros bool, true, and false,
36 as C99 lists that as an "obsolescent feature".
37
38 Limitations of this substitute, when used in a C89 environment:
39
40 - <stdbool.h> must be #included before the '_Bool' type can be used.
41
42 - You cannot assume that _Bool is a typedef; it might be a macro.
43
44 - Bit-fields of type 'bool' are not supported. Portable code
45 should use 'unsigned int foo : 1;' rather than 'bool foo : 1;'.
46
47 - In C99, casts and automatic conversions to '_Bool' or 'bool' are
48 performed in such a way that every nonzero value gets converted
49 to 'true', and zero gets converted to 'false'. This doesn't work
50 with this substitute. With this substitute, only the values 0 and 1
51 give the expected result when converted to _Bool' or 'bool'.
52
53 Also, it is suggested that programs use 'bool' rather than '_Bool';
54 this isn't required, but 'bool' is more common. */

69 It is tempting to write
70 typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
71 so that gdb prints values of type 'bool' symbolically. But if we do
72 this, values of type '_Bool' may promote to 'int' or 'unsigned int'
73 (see ISO C 99 6.7.2.2.(4)); however, '_Bool' must promote to 'int'
74 (see ISO C 99 6.3.1.1.(2)). So we add a negative value to the
75 enum; this ensures that '_Bool' promotes to 'int'. */

98 Use of an enum type, with IRIX cc, leads to a stupid
99 "warning(1185): enumerated type mixed with another type".
100 Even the existence of an enum type, without a typedef,
101 "Invalid enumerator. (badenum)" with HP-UX cc on Tru64.
102 The only benefit of the enum, debuggability, is not important
103 with these compilers. So use 'signed char' and no enum. */
