There is a version available as part of gcc, but it is not installed. This has caused us minor portability annoyances as we port our software to FreeBSD. >How-To-Repeat: Try compiling any C code that needs stdbool.h. >Fix: An easy one would be to start installing the stdbool.h in contrib/gcc/ginclude/stdbool.h. however, that's not the best version of stdbool.h available. The one that was indpendently written for OpenBSD includes '#define bool _Bool', which is required according to the C99 specs. Furthermore, the gcc version doesn't define _Bool at all which is not yet a builtin type in gcc 2.95.3. I'd recommend simply importing the OpenBSD stdbool.h. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
