/* ISO C 99 <stdbool.h> for platforms that lack it. */
25
Programs that use <stdbool.h> should be aware of some limitations
26
and standards compliance issues.
30
- <stdbool.h> must be #included before 'bool', 'false', 'true'
33
- You cannot assume that sizeof (bool) == 1.
35
- Programs should not undefine the macros bool, true, and false,
36
as C99 lists that as an "obsolescent feature".
38
Limitations of this substitute, when used in a C89 environment:
40
- <stdbool.h> must be #included before the '_Bool' type can be used.
42
- You cannot assume that _Bool is a typedef; it might be a macro.
44
- Bit-fields of type 'bool' are not supported. Portable code
45
should use 'unsigned int foo : 1;' rather than 'bool foo : 1;'.
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'.
53
- C99 allows the use of (_Bool)0.0 in constant expressions, but
54
this substitute cannot always provide this property.
56
Also, it is suggested that programs use 'bool' rather than '_Bool';
57
this isn't required, but 'bool' is more common. */

/* For the sake of symbolic names in gdb, we define true and false as
71
enum constants, not only as macros.
72
It is tempting to write
73
typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
74
so that gdb prints values of type 'bool' symbolically. But if we do
75
this, values of type '_Bool' may promote to 'int' or 'unsigned int'
76
(see ISO C 99 6.7.2.2.(4)); however, '_Bool' must promote to 'int'
77
(see ISO C 99 6.3.1.1.(2)). So we add a negative value to the
78
enum; this ensures that '_Bool' promotes to 'int'. */

Some HP-UX cc and AIX IBM C compiler versions have compiler bugs when
90
the built-in _Bool type is used. See
91

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-10/msg00086.html
94
Similar bugs are likely with other compilers as well; this file
95
wouldn't be used if <stdbool.h> was working.
96
So we override the _Bool type.
98
Need to define _Bool ourselves. As 'signed char' or as an enum type?
99
Use of a typedef, with SunPRO C, leads to a stupid
100
"warning: _Bool is a keyword in ISO C99".
101
Use of an enum type, with IRIX cc, leads to a stupid
102
"warning(1185): enumerated type mixed with another type".
103
Even the existence of an enum type, without a typedef,
104
"Invalid enumerator. (badenum)" with HP-UX cc on Tru64.
105
The only benefit of the enum, debuggability, is not important
106
with these compilers. So use 'signed char' and no enum. */
