| vs || operator on C99 bool types

Show all headers | View raw

Hello all,

I heard an opinion on the use of the | operator together with C99
conform bool types (stdbool.h)

My discussion partner stated that
_Bool a, b;
......
a | b;

should be forbidden and a || b should be used instead.

I personally can't see the difference for true boolean types (which
would be *implementation* specific, but let's assume an embedded
compiler with a true bool type that maps to a real bit.)

What does the standard say? Are there opinions on this?

I personally have no true opinion on this, otherwise I wouldn't open
this up for discussion.

Best regards,
Matthias
