But I have been going through other reports from the 'bug book' which I ask
my programmers to log. Another case which explicit bools would solve would
be (in Win32)...
HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(...);

Maybe I gave a too simple example on my first post. Another example common
error which would be prevented by blocking implicit bool conversion might be:
if (strcmp(szMyName, "Peter")) printf("Hello Peter");
This bad error currently just slips through. If we gave an option to only

I'd looked into getting some boolean
Hi Andrew,
I was hoping was that we could at least have a compile option. So we could
turn it on if required. I would definitely mandate it in our organization
at least. I am sure others would too.
We have a prepared list of common errors C++ novices make and the
accidental boolean is always

I don't see that at all, optional switches/pragmas/directives that
subset the language are in no ways violation of the standards. THe
