Indigo Service Release 2 -- where is the definition of "bool"? [message #814151]

Hi, all:

Environment:
OS: Ubuntu 11.10
Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2

I defined a "bool" variable in a struct in a .h header file. When I tried to build my project, I got the following error message:

Quote:

Multiple markers at this line
- unknown type name 'bool'
- Type 'bool' could not be resolved

After I do

#include "stdbool.h"

,
everything is now able to be compiled. However, why do I need to add "stdbool.h"? If under Windows, what's going on there?

Can anybody help to detailedly explain why " 'bool' could not be resolved." ?

Best Regards
Pei

Sounds like you are using bool in C code. The type bool is part of C++. However, it was introduced in C99 for C code. But then you need to include the stdbool.h header.
