Problem compiling code which does work in Borland 3.1

[OmnificienT]

Hello,

I can't seem to compile the following using code::blocks

Code Select Expand


#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    enum BOOL {true, false};
    enum BOOL bFlag;

    if (bFlag == true) printf("TRUE");
    return 0;
}


It will give me this output:

However, in Borland 3.1 it works just fine. Does anyone know what is going on?

Thank you.

first of all, C or C++.

In case of C++, there you have bool, with values true/false :-)

So I assume you are doing C ?
Try to define your enum with a typedef, or try to use _Bool.
