I don't think you can do that with bool, which is a reserved word in
C++. You will need
#define bool mybool

I'm pretty sure that you're mistaken. My PPC box is at home so I can't test
this, but I'm pretty sure t
redefine as:
enum bool {FALSE; TRUE};
then compile with
gcc -fshort-enums
(which will make _all_ your enums short => non-alligned.)

I'm wondering why sizeof(bool) is 1 byte in Intel platform and 4 bytes on
PPC ? Is it depends on version of gcc (2.95.3 on Intel, 2.96 on PPC) ?
Can I somehow (some compiler flag) make them of same size ?
