The New C:bool, Advice to C and C++ ProgrammersRandy Meyers
True or False: The type bool behaves identically in C99 and C++. True or False: Your C89 bool hackery will survive unscathed under C99. Read and find out.
Listing 1: My version of <stdbool.h>
/* An interim version of <stdbool.h> from C/C++ Users Journal
* May 2002. This file may be included from C90, C++, or C99
* (but C99 should come with its own version).
*/
/* If C++, do nothing since bool is built in */
#if !defined(__cplusplus)
# if !defined(__bool_true_false_are_defined)
# define __bool_true_false_are_defined 1
/* If this is C99 or later, use built-in bool */
# if __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199901L
# define bool _Bool
# else
/* Choose an unsigned type that can be used as a bitfield */
# define bool unsigned char
# endif
# define true 1
# define false 0
# endif
#endif /* !defined(__cplusplus) */
