now that the Fortran frontend is C++ we can use the primitive bool
type instead of inventing our own.
Well, C99's "bool" (_Bool) was already used before. The advantage of
FAILURE and SUCCESS is that they immediately make clear whether some
call was successful or not. "true" and "false" don't.
Thus, one should consider whether some procedures should be renamed to
make clear that true is successful and false is not.
For instance,
if (gfc_notify_standard (...) == FAILURE)
return MATCH_ERROR;
becomes with your patch:
if (gfc_notify_standard (...) == false)
return MATCH_ERROR;
I think a more logical expression would be
if (gfc_notify_standard (...))
return MATCH_ERROR;
which removes the "== false" but also swaps true/false for the return value.
There are probably some more cases. Without such a clean up, I fear that
the code will become less readable than it is currently. While I think
such changes can be done as follow up, I think committing the gfc_try ->
bool patch only makes sense if you commit yourself to do such a cleanup.

PS: Generally, please wait with committals until GCC's web mail archive
works again for gcc-cvs. That will hopefully be soon.
