Package: gcc-4.3
Version: 4.3.1-6
Severity: normal
In C99, _Bool is required to map to one of the unsigned types (6.2.5/6). On
i586, this is 'unsigned char', by ABI. That means that you get eight bits to
the _Bool.
However, GCC rejects the following (admittedly unethical) snippet:
struct S7 {
_Bool D : 8;
} s7 = { 1 };
with the error:
unethical.c:2: error: width of `D' exceeds its type
Sorry GCC, no it doesn't.
