I will disagree with Bruce a bit and put my vote in for replacing
boolean_t
with bool where it is used. I do think that logically (if not
strictly) your
commit is a type mismatch as TRUE/FALSE is for boolean_t and
true/false are
for bool. I agree with Bruce that we probably don't want to use bool
for
system calls. However, I think using bool in the kernel itself is ok
and that
we should replace boolean_t with bool.
I guess it boils down to the dilemma between modernity and common
practice.
OK, I know the current change can't stay as-is, and even Bruce admits
that boolean_t is a mistake, so I think I will give the bool a try.
FWIW, I have a patch for this[1] but it became rather interesting because
on MIPS, bool and int are not interchangeable so I am finding some
places where the prototypes and the implementation don't match.
It will still take me some time (the tinderbox is really slow) but the
result
should be cleaner.
Pedro.
