Yes, what Mark said is mostly correct. My quibble is about the
phrase "C boolean value". I suppose you could say that 0 (of type
int) is a "C boolean value", but it would make more sense to apply
that term to a value of the C type _Bool.
In C90, where _Bool didn't yet exist, I wouldn't have much of a
problem referring to 0 as a "C boolean value".
And just to add to the frivolity, the macros "false" and "true"
in <stdbool.h> expand to 0 and 1, respectively, which are of type
_Bool, not int.
