/* ISO C 99 <stdbool.h> for platforms that lack it. */
26
Programs that use <stdbool.h> should be aware of some limitations
27
and standards compliance issues.
31
- <stdbool.h> must be #included before 'bool', 'false', 'true'
34
- You cannot assume that sizeof (bool) == 1.
36
- Programs should not undefine the macros bool, true, and false,
37
as C99 lists that as an "obsolescent feature".
39
Limitations of this substitute, when used in a C89 environment:
41
- <stdbool.h> must be #included before the '_Bool' type can be used.
43
- You cannot assume that _Bool is a typedef; it might be a macro.
45
- Bit-fields of type 'bool' are not supported. Portable code
46
should use 'unsigned int foo : 1;' rather than 'bool foo : 1;'.
48
- In C99, casts and automatic conversions to '_Bool' or 'bool' are
49
performed in such a way that every nonzero value gets converted
50
to 'true', and zero gets converted to 'false'. This doesn't work
51
with this substitute. With this substitute, only the values 0 and 1
52
give the expected result when converted to _Bool' or 'bool'.
54
Also, it is suggested that programs use 'bool' rather than '_Bool';
55
this isn't required, but 'bool' is more common. */

/* 7.16. Boolean type and values */

/* BeOS <sys/socket.h> already #defines false 0, true 1. We use the same
61
definitions below, but temporarily we have to #undef them. */
62
#if defined __BEOS__ && !defined __HAIKU__
63
# include <OS.h> /* defines bool but not _Bool */
68
/* For the sake of symbolic names in gdb, we define true and false as
69
enum constants, not only as macros.
70
It is tempting to write
71
typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
72
so that gdb prints values of type 'bool' symbolically. But if we do
73
this, values of type '_Bool' may promote to 'int' or 'unsigned int'
74
(see ISO C 99 6.7.2.2.(4)); however, '_Bool' must promote to 'int'
75
(see ISO C 99 6.3.1.1.(2)). So we add a negative value to the
76
enum; this ensures that '_Bool' promotes to 'int'. */

87
Some HP-UX cc and AIX IBM C compiler versions have compiler bugs when
88
the built-in _Bool type is used. See
89

92
Similar bugs are likely with other compilers as well; this file
93
wouldn't be used if <stdbool.h> was working.
94
So we override the _Bool type.
96
Need to define _Bool ourselves. As 'signed char' or as an enum type?
97
Use of a typedef, with SunPRO C, leads to a stupid
98
"warning: _Bool is a keyword in ISO C99".
99
Use of an enum type, with IRIX cc, leads to a stupid
100
"warning(1185): enumerated type mixed with another type".
101
Even the existence of an enum type, without a typedef,
102
"Invalid enumerator. (badenum)" with HP-UX cc on Tru64.
103
The only benefit of the enum, debuggability, is not important
104
with these compilers. So use 'signed char' and no enum. */
