DESCRIPTION

[CX] [Option Start] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard. [Option End]

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

The ability to undefine and redefine the macros bool, true, and false is an obsolescent feature and may be removed in a future version.
