bool is NOT a uint type now, it is a new type introduced by gcc, it is
rather different with "typedef int bool" historically
see following code segments for more info about type bool
bool v = 0x10;
printf("v = %d\n", v);
the output is v = 1.
it maybe cause a invalid array index if bool is represented as uint
bool highpri = wq->flags & WQ_HIGHPRI; WQ_HIGHPRI = 1 << 4,
@highpri maybe 16, but the number of array elements is 2.
bool is a logic value, the valid value is true or false.
indexing array by type bool is not a good program custom
it is more extendable to use type int, type bool maybe is improper if the
number of
array elements is extended to more than 2 in future
besides, the relevant array is indexed by type int in many other places of the
same source file. this patch can keep consistency
