Is 2 neither true, nor false? 3? 4?
If false is zero,
Then true is not false.
Also C doesn't have a boolean type per se. Iirc it was introduced in
some version of c++ standard.
In C it's very strange to see code like that:
If (b==1)
It's always
If (b)
Or
If (!b)
Of course, that is because, in C, any value that is not zero, is true.
So you can not compare with 1 or -1 or any other value to test if it is
true...

There were some very rare edge cases, that occur, though, I have heard,
where... this is not the case.
But I would have to take the time to look up the article where I found
this...
It could even be a rumor, but I think it is serious..
Since it is an edge case, it creeps in like sh*t when you don't expect
it.
