I ran into this with pyobjc when I tried to treat BOOL and bool the same. All of this is with Objective-C, but the same should be true for plain C.

I'm not sure about the actual definition, but at least for OSX on PPC sizeof(bool) is not 1. I ran into this with pyobjc when I tried to treat BOOL and bool the same.

All of this is with Objective-C, but the same should be true for plain C.
