Off topic nit: I think you're confused with custom BOOL typedefs in C?
C++ booleans are protected against this (C++ standard ยง4.7/4 according
to Google).:
```
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
bool myBool;
myBool = 2;
if (myBool == true)
printf("It is true!\n");
else if (myBool == false)
printf("It is false!\n");
else
printf("It is something else!\n");
}
```
Prints 'It is true'. You can also use bool(something) as equivalent of
`x != 0`; as in `assert(bool(2) == true);`.
