5.45 stdbool.h

POSIX specification: http://www.opengroup.org/susv3xbd/stdbool.h.html

Gnulib module: stdbool

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• This header file is missing on some platforms: AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1.
• Some compilers have bugs relating to ‘bool’.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• <stdbool.h> must be #included before ‘_Bool’ 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;’.
• Casts and automatic conversions to ‘bool’ don't test against the zero value or the null pointer, as they should. Such casts should only be used if the casted value is known to be equal to 0 or 1.
