Yuck...

bool f(whatever)
{
	bool data;
	if (expression)
		data = true;
	else
		data = false;
	return data;
}

is amazingly unidiomatic.  Hell, if nothing else it's
	bool data = expression;
	return data;
if not an outright
	return expression;
or
	return (bool)expression;
if you want to underline that it's treated as boolean...  What tool
has produced that patch?
