David:

Under g++ 'false' and 'true' are constants of type=20
'bool' (also under Borland C++ 5.0).  The follwing program will
compile quite nicely with g++ with no complaints, however gcc will
complain about a syntax error before var.

--------------------------------------------
int main() {
	bool var =3D false;

	return 0;
}

Probably have very sad death ... But, at least there is symmetry.
