trying to use '#include ' in VS 2010

Question

I\'m trying to use the stdbool.h library file in a C program. When I try to compile, however, an error message appears saying intellisense cannot open source file stdbool.h.

Answer 1

Create your own file to replace stdbool.h that looks like this:

#pragma once

#define false   0
#define true    1

#define bool int

In Visual Studio 2010 I had an issue using typedef int bool; as suggested elsewhere. IntelliSense complained about an "invalid combination of type specifiers." It seems that the name "bool" is still special, even though it's not defined.
