Well, C99's "bool" (_Bool) was already used before. ...
Er, that is making a serious mistake or, at least, running the risk of
one. C++'s bool and C99's _Bool are NOT compatible types. The UK tried
to get _Bool either made compatible with C++ or (preferably) dropped, but
failed in both.
Now, in disciplined code that does not pass such objects between C and
C++, you won't see the differences. But, if EITHER assertion fails,
there are some very nasty gotchas.
