It has the same problem if a wider type (e.g. long) is assigned to it. Use _Bool instead.

I was at first tempted to complain about useless pedantry, but you're right. Even if some of us still like to party like it's 1989. I should have said the real lesson is don't reimplement standard C types, poorly.
