#2085 mcs51/ds390 bool fails when bit type is not allowed

[Erik Petrich]

stdbool.h defines bool as __bit for the mcs51 and ds390 ports. However, this fails in situations where bool is completely legal but __bit is not. For example, the regression tests bug3565757 includes a bool member of a struct and current (rev #8095) fails to compile for mcs51/ds390 if the preprocessor check for __SDCC_WEIRD_BOOL is removed.

bool needs to exist as its own type rather than be conflated with the bit type.

Looks like a duplicate of #2933889 to me.

I guess for the example I gave it's a duplicate, but #2933889 says it currently just applies to a bool in a struct. A pointer to bool and an array of bool should also work, but currently fails because pointers and arrays of bits are unsupportable on mcs51/ds390.

As of revision #9766, mcs51 should have full support for standard-compliant bool. But ds390 and xa51 do not yet.

Fixed in revision #9795.
