Hi,
What is the proper type to use in an Ada binding
for a C method that returns a C99 bool?
This appears to be an issue in s-stchop-rtems.adb
where it binds to the C routine:
bool rtems_stack_checker_is_blown( void )
Thanks.

Whatever the answer is, it should be used to define Interfaces.C.Bool.
(I don't know what GCC's options for representing _Bool are, sorry.)

It appears to be unsigned char or at least sizeof(bool)=1
on the architectures I tried this test program on.
#include <stdbool.h>
bool x;
int s = sizeof(bool);
Unfortunately bool is defined to _Bool and that must be
something gcc recognizes. I don't see it in .h files.
So I am only slightly more sure of it than you are. :)

C99 Boolean type is _Bool. C99 requires people to
include <stdbool> if they want to write bool instead of _Bool.

That's only half of the story. The other half are the possible values
of *(char *)&x for some variable of type _Bool, and what the value of
(int)x is in those cases.

The size is determined by BOOL_TYPE_SIZE (and is not 1 byte for
powerpc-darwin).
