Re: [RFC][PATCH] A generic boolean (version 6)

[ricknu-0@student.ltu.se]

The sixth "version".

Changes (since fifth):
* removed the #undef false/true and #define false/true from include/linux/stddef.h.

Signed-off-by: Richard Knutsson <ricknu-0@student.ltu.se>

---

Have not found any (real) reason letting the cpp know about false/true. As I
said in the last version, the only reason seem to be for the userspace. Well, as
there is no program of my knowlage that needs it, they were removed.

As there seems to be little respons nowadays (I hope its because there isn't to
much to comment on and not because of bordom to this), I will likely send this
in as a real patch (hoping for inclusion) tomorrow.

And once again; thanks to you all for all the comments and suggestions.
