That is not fine. The _Bool type is up to gcc implementation details. > If we really have to introduce a bool type, at least it has to be the > same size on all 32 bit archs and the same size on all 64 bit archs. You don't use bool for talking to hardware, you use it for the most efficient compiler behaviour when working with true/false values.
