Are you using XFS on your systems? What is your strategy for getting this
runtime tested going to be? Or are you delegating that responsibility? :)



Sorry, can't say that I do. So pretty please... ;)
Seriously, I can not find a state when this may fail (if not "if (var == TRUE)" happend to be correct for 'var' != 0 != 1, but that is just a bug waiting to happend).
But please correct me if I am wrong.



OK, I'll run with it in my own testing for awhile.

Thanks!

I was also curious to
why you didn't remove the other few B_TRUE/B_FALSE occurences? (and the
typedef)?


Working on it. Should be out tomorrow(or in about 20 hours).
From the "Re: Conversion to generic boolean"-thread (started on 06-08-28), there were those who did not seem to like the conversion. But since no-one complained about removing "== B_FALSE/B_TRUE", I thought it best to remove them first and then take the rest from there.

cheers.
