Really? Why would any C++ code assume "bool" is defined as a macro?
It's been a keyword in C++ for longer than C99 has defined it as a macro.

Fair enough, this revised patch still defines bool, true and false for
C++98 mode, but not for C++11 mode.
gcc/
* ginclude/stdbool.h (true, false, bool): Do not define for C++11.
libstdc++/
* testsuite/18_support/headers/cstdbool/macros.cc: New.
Tested x86_64-linux, OK for trunk?
