   23: /* Usage suggestions:
   24: 
   25:    Programs that use <stdbool.h> should be aware of some limitations
   26:    and standards compliance issues.
   27: 
   28:    Standards compliance:
   29: 
   30:        - <stdbool.h> must be #included before 'bool', 'false', 'true'
   31:          can be used.
   32: 
   33:        - You cannot assume that sizeof (bool) == 1.
   34: 
   35:        - Programs should not undefine the macros bool, true, and false,
   36:          as C99 lists that as an "obsolescent feature".
   37: 
   38:    Limitations of this substitute, when used in a C89 environment:
   39: 
   40:        - <stdbool.h> must be #included before the '_Bool' type can be used.
   41: 
   42:        - You cannot assume that _Bool is a typedef; it might be a macro.
   43: 
   44:        - Bit-fields of type 'bool' are not supported.  Portable code
   45:          should use 'unsigned int foo : 1;' rather than 'bool foo : 1;'.
   46: 
   47:        - In C99, casts and automatic conversions to '_Bool' or 'bool' are
   48:          performed in such a way that every nonzero value gets converted
   49:          to 'true', and zero gets converted to 'false'.  This doesn't work
   50:          with this substitute.  With this substitute, only the values 0 and 1
   51:          give the expected result when converted to _Bool' or 'bool'.
   52: 
   53:        - C99 allows the use of (_Bool)0.0 in constant expressions, but
   54:          this substitute cannot always provide this property.
   55: 
   56:    Also, it is suggested that programs use 'bool' rather than '_Bool';
   57:    this isn't required, but 'bool' is more common.  */

   73:       typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
   74:    so that gdb prints values of type 'bool' symbolically. But if we do
   75:    this, values of type '_Bool' may promote to 'int' or 'unsigned int'
   76:    (see ISO C 99 6.7.2.2.(4)); however, '_Bool' must promote to 'int'
