I'm not trying to be antagonistic; I just like correct things. And discussion.I to like correct things. That is why I don't like someone putting words in my mouth which I have not stated.
saying "in arduino, bool maps to _Bool which is a native GCC type (but I'm not sure what it translates to)"
is not the same as saying "the arduino files defined them"Anyone who likes correct things should know so.
Can you lay off the attacks please? Let's try to keep the discussion civil.
The arduino distribution includes a lot of things. Think of it as a house. One part of the house is the compiler itself. Another is avr-libc. Think of both of those as rooms with those names. The other rooms are frequently just called "arduino," just like the house as a whole. So, when one says something is part of "arduino" they generally don't mean "part of the compiler" or "part of avr-libc." So I hope you'll understand my confusion and not think I'm "Putting words in your mouth" --- that's how I understood them.
Also, I tend to think of avr-libc as part of gcc (while that is not entirely correct, they are almost always together). So, to me, "a native GCC type" could mean one that's defined in avr-libc or gcc (although I see now that "native" probably means it's part of the compiler itself). Thus, when one says that something is mapped to a native gcc type, they generally mean that it's mapped outside of gcc itself, since the internals are largely irrelevant in this context.
