Subject: [PATCH 43/73] c23: Add support for bool, true, and false keywords
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 12:32:29 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109203259.362845-44-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109203259.362845-1-bvanassche@acm.org>
Register bool, true, and false as reserved keywords in C23 mode and
evaluate true and false as integer constant expressions of type bool
with values 1 and 0 in both C expressions and #if conditionals per ISO
C23 6.4.4.5 and 6.10.1.
