Why define a PP_Bool type? #123

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The documentation says:

"The standard bool type is not available to pre-C99 compilers, and is not 
guaranteed to be compatible between C and C++, whereas the PPAPI C headers can 
be included from C or C++ code."

But realistically, there exist no pre-C99 compilers which can output NaCl code, 
and as far as I know all compilers that can also have an stdbool.h which is in 
fact compatible with C++. And stdint.h seems to be used all over the place, 
which is also C99.

So why define this type at all? It seems completely unnecessary, and only makes 
the code uglier.

This is part of Pepper.

Even so, though: Is there some reason stdint.h can be used, but not stdbool.h?
