Portable code 44 should use 'unsigned int foo : 1;' rather than 'bool foo : 1;'. 45 46 - In C99, casts and automatic conversions to '_Bool' or 'bool' are 47 performed in such a way that every nonzero value gets converted 48 to 'true', and zero gets converted to 'false'. This doesn't work 49 with this substitute. With this substitute, only the values 0 and 1 50 give the expected result when converted to _Bool' or 'bool'. 51 52 - C99 allows the use of (_Bool)0.0 in constant expressions, but 53 this substitute cannot always provide this property. 54 55 Also, it is suggested that programs use 'bool' rather than '_Bool'; 56 this isn't required, but 'bool' is more common. */ 57 58 59 /* 7.16.
