error: cannot combine with previous 'bool' declaration specifier
As an integral part of the build pipeline at out company, we need a program that writes the string "false\n"
to standard output.
After exploring our options, we came to the conclusion that While has the right level of abstraction and a feature set fitting the task.
This is the program:
bool Bool = false;
return Bool;
Writing a shorter program would conflict our code readability guidelines. After executing
./while.py bootstrap_build_chain.while --output-c bbc.c
clang bbc.c
we got the following error message:
bbc.c:5:7: error: cannot combine with previous 'bool' declaration specifier
5 | bool _Bool = false;
| ^
bbc.c:5:13: error: expected identifier or '('
5 | bool _Bool = false;
| ^
bbc.c:6:9: error: expected expression
6 | printf(_Bool ? "true\n" : "false\n");
| ^
3 errors generated.
