That it is globally a bad idea. The bool type should not be used in any of our public header (due to how poor the standard define it). It also should not be used in any of our bitfield as nobody knows its size. So starting to use it is sure to trigger a mess at some point. So if it's just an issue of typing, make a macro in your editor and be done with it. -- Cedric BAIL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
