Use standard +C++ ``bool`` instead. + +Otherwise, use :ref:`PRBool` for variables and parameter types. Use +``PR_FALSE`` and ``PR_TRUE`` for clarity of target type in assignments +and actual arguments. Use ``if (bool)``, ``while (!bool)``, +``(bool) ? x : y``, and so on to test Boolean values, just as you would +C ``int``-valued conditions. |
