Bug 23007

Summary: /usr/include/stdbool.h broken
Product: Ports & Packages Reporter: justin.kolodziej <justin.kolodziej>
Component: Individual Port(s)Assignee: freebsd-ports (Nobody) <ports>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me

Description justin.kolodziej 2000-11-21 17:20:00 UTC 
The /usr/include/stdbool.h header file is wrong if the compiler doesn't 
set __STDC_VERSION_ to something less than  199901.  It defines _Bool 
twice and kills the compile.

Fix: 

I guess if the compiler isn't ANSI C99, then use 

typedef int _Bool;
#define true 1
#define false 0

otherwise use the C99 enum typedef and defines.

Or perhaps throw the offending bit out and use the C99 stuff for all 
compilers.
How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/print/a2ps
make install

I submitted a PR on this same problem about a week ago...  The only committer
who has responded was Bruce Evans, who pointed out that this file is even more
broken than I initially thought.  He, however, deferred the fix to the author
who has not expressed any interest in the issue thus far :(

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

See misc/22936.. In addition, this is nothing to do with ports.
