This header was originally in the C standard library as <stdbool.h>.

Compatibility header. true, false and bool are keywords in C++, but they were not keywords in C until C23.

Macros

__bool_true_false_are_defined
(C++11)(deprecated)
C compatibility macro constant, expands to integer literal 1
(macro constant) [edit]

[edit] Notes

<cstdbool> is deprecated in C++17 and removed in C++20. Corresponding <stdbool.h> is still available in C++20.

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 3827 C++11 C programs no longer need the compatibility macro
__bool_true_false_are_defined since C23
deprecated this
macro in C++
