>Organization:
>Environment:
amd64 / linux
>Description:
printing a function that returns a bool value always returns false.

>How-To-Repeat:
cat test.cpp
bool test()
{
  return true;
}

main(int, char**)
{
while(1);

I have a fix to the function amd64_classify function (add TYPE_CODE_BOOL to the test clause)

     long, long long, and pointers are in the INTEGER class.  Similarly,
     range types, used by languages such as Ada, are also in the INTEGER
     class.  */

 /* Adding TYPE_CODE_BOOL to the following test. Without this printing a boolean 
    valued function is incorrectly returning false.
