Well, that may be a bug.  Than again, if this is a large program (and
you didn't write all of it), I'm wondering if someone went and #define'd
true, overriding the C++ definition of it...

Also, don't forget that you don't actually have to do the comparison.
You can simply do this:

if (george)
{
<snip>

If george evaluates to any non-zero value, it will be considered to be
true.

Thanks,
Lyle

I'm using avr-gcc version 3.4.1 to compile C++.

Here's the problem:

bool george =3D true;

if(george =3D=3D true)
{
   // never gets here
}
else
{
   // always gets here
}


In other words, the expression (george =3D=3D true) is always false.  Isn't
this
a compiler bug?

For whatever it's worth, the value of george is 0x01 and the value of
true
seems to be 0xff.
