ok, this is where i might be having my difficulty. in H&S (5th ed), p. 325, i read (emphasis added): "Certain Standard C libraries can be considered part of the language. The provide standard definitions and parameterization that help make C programs more portable... These core libraries consist of the header files ... stdbool.h, ..." my reading of this is that stdbool.h is not an extension, it's a part of the core. what am i mnisreading here? rday - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
