Bug ID: 58241 Summary: [PPC/Altivec] altivec.h inclusion in -std=c++98..11 causes bool to be redefined Product: gcc Version: 4.7.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: other Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: chithanh at gentoo dot org Created attachment 30696 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=30696&action=edit testcase Originally reported as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68504 Compiling attached testcase with g++ -maltivec -std=c++11 fails with the following error: fdo_68504.cpp: In function ‘__vector(4) __bool int returnbool()’: fdo_68504.cpp:11:21: error: cannot convert ‘bool’ to ‘__vector(4) __bool int’ in return Building with -std=gnu++11 does not fail. It appears that bool is redefined by altivec.h to __attribute__((altivec(bool__))) unsigned in c++11 mode.
