It's usually a better idea to check the spec than Google... stdbool.h is not part of the C++ standard, and so it is free to contain anything in C++ mode, just as any other non-standard header is. The <cstdbool> header is defined by the C++11 spec as containing JUST the __bool_true_false_are_defined macro. The purpose of this header in C++ mode is to allow the inclusion of C++ headers that expect to be able to use true and false and guard this by the use of the __bool_true_false_are_defined macro.
