Using the standard bool type provided by C allows some recent compilers and debuggers to give better diagnostics. Also, some extension code and third-party headers are increasingly pulling in stdbool.h, so it's probably saner if everyone uses the same definition. But PostgreSQL code is not prepared to handle bool of a size other than 1, so we keep our own old definition if we encounter a stdbool.h with a bool of a different size. (Among current build farm members, this only applies to old macOS versions on PowerPC.) To check that the used bool is of the right size, add a static assertions about size of GinTernaryValue vs bool. This is currently the only place that assumes that bool and char are of the same size.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
