    GCC bool undefined

    Currently,

    I'm using Redhat 9.0 with Kernel 2.4.20-31.9. Including GLIB 2.4, GLIBC 2.2 and GCC 3.2.2 20040222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5).

    Whenever I compile a file with gcc, the identifier bool seems to be undeclared. I have temporarily fixed this by adding typedef enum {FALSE, TRUE} bool; to my main source file, but I would like to know if there is a patch for GCC that might fix this in the future. Or if one or more of my previous versions of GCC, GLIB, are GLIBC or out-dated and may have something to do with this problem, please let me know.


    Thank you for your time,

    Segmentation Fault: I am an error in which a running program attempts to access memory not allocated to it and core dumps with a segmentation violation error. This is often caused by improper usage of pointers, attempts to access a non-existent or read-only physical memory address, re-use of memory if freed within the same scope, de-referencing a null pointer, or (in C) inadvertently using a non-pointer variable as a pointer.

    bool is a c++ type; use g++ or stick with your enum typedef if you want to use it with gcc.

    Okay,

    Thanks for the tip. I'll keep this in mind.

    you might think it is because vi automatically highlights it even in .c code.
