Hi,
I am trying to include stdbool.h in a C program I am writing using MSVC++. I get a fatal error that it cannot open. No such file exists. I thought I needed to place it in the "stdafx.h" but that did not work either.
What is my issue here?
Thanks

That stdbool.h is a C99 header, and Microsoft will never support C99.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Thank you Salem.
Is there any way to use boolean at all...another header...anything?
Thanks
A couple of #defines (or an enum if you're feeling that way inclined), and any integral type work as a boolean in C.

Lost me.
do you mean
#ifndef FALSE
#define FALSE 0
#endif
#ifndef TRUE
#define TRUE 1
#endif
typedef int bool
I am pretty new to this
That would work, though I'm unusure of what stdbool.h contains.

Yes, that's exactly it.

Maybe something like this would be better, in case you ever plan on updating the code to C++:
Code:#ifndef __cplusplus typedef int bool; # define true 1 # define false 0 #endif
thanks salem

Better to use an enum. It will give you better error messages:
Code:#ifndef __cplusplus enum bool{ false, true }; #endif
It is too clear and so it is hard to see.

Had he known what fire was,
He could have cooked his rice much sooner.
