>Description:
There have been typedef of bool in rpcsvc/yp_prot.h since it
is added to source tree in August 1994. But there is also
definition of bool in stdbool.h, and they conflict when both
headers are used. An acutual example of conflict is building
Zsh on NIS client of 10.x or later. It is already repoted as
following PR.
ports/183253: [PATCH] shells/zsh: fail to build on 10.0-BETA1
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/183253
While stdbool.h and bool definition in it are requirement of
C99 standard, it seems bool typedef in ryp_prot.h is not
necessarily required. So removing the latter is a solution.
There are some reasons that removing bool typedef from
yp_prot.h doesn't seems to cause problem.
* Building and installing FreeBSD seems to work fine without
it. I applied attached patch to 8.4-RELEASE, 9.2-RELEASE and
10.0-RELEASE source tree and tried regular rebuilding steps
described in /usr/src/Makefile. All rebuild succeeded
without error, and all of reinstalled systems seems to work
fine.
* NetBSD have already removed it in October 2007, and since
then they have been done well.
