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 - In C99, casts and automatic conversions to '_Bool' or 'bool' are
45 performed in such a way that every nonzero value gets converted
46 to 'true', and zero gets converted to 'false'. This doesn't work
47 with this substitute. With this substitute, only the values 0 and 1
48 give the expected result when converted to _Bool' or 'bool'.
49
50 Also, it is suggested that programs use 'bool' rather than '_Bool';
51 this isn't required, but 'bool' is more common. */

60#endif

62/* C++ and BeOS have a reliable bool (and _Bool, if it exists).
63 Otherwise, since this file is being compiled, the system
64 <stdbool.h> is not reliable so assume that the system _Bool is not
65 reliable either. Under that assumption, it is tempting to write
66
67 typedef enum { false, true } _Bool;
68
69 so that gdb prints values of type 'bool' symbolically. But if we do
70 this, values of type '_Bool' may promote to 'int' or 'unsigned int'
71 (see ISO C 99 6.7.2.2.(4)); however, '_Bool' must promote to 'int'
72 (see ISO C 99 6.3.1.1.(2)). We could instead try this:
73
74 typedef enum { _Bool_dummy = -1, false, true } _Bool;
75
76 as the negative value ensures that '_Bool' promotes to 'int'.
77 However, this runs into some other problems. First, Sun's C
78 compiler when (__SUNPRO_C < 0x550 || __STDC__ == 1) issues a stupid
79 "warning: _Bool is a keyword in ISO C99". Second, IBM's AIX cc
80 compiler 6.0.0.0 (and presumably other versions) mishandles
81 subscripts involving _Bool (effectively, _Bool promotes to unsigned
82 int in this case), and we need to redefine _Bool in that case.
83 Third, HP-UX 10.20's C compiler lacks <stdbool.h> but has _Bool and
84 mishandles comparisons of _Bool to int (it promotes _Bool to
85 unsigned int).
86
87 The simplest way to work around these problems is to ignore any
88 existing definition of _Bool and use our own. */
