Re: [PATCH] Introduce hardbool attribute for C

[Alexandre Oliva <oliva@adacore.com>]

Thanks for the test.

Did you mean for me to incorporate it into the patch, or do you mean to
contribute it separately, if the feature happens to be accepted?

Good question.  The notion of using complex types to hold booleans
hadn't even crossed my mind.

On the one hand, there doesn't seem to be reason to rule them out, and
that could go for literally any other type.

On the other, there doesn't seem to be any useful case for them.  Can
anyone think of one?

Is there any good place for such interop notes?  I'm not sure I'm
best-suited to write them up, since Fortran is not a language I'm
very familiar with, but I suppose I could give it a try.
