1 matches bool, 2 matches long

[kenji hara]

OK. I misunderstood.

C does not allow function overloading, so same problem is not there.
In C++,

// test.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
void foo(bool) { printf("bool\n"); }
void foo(long) { printf("long\n"); }
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
foo(false);  // matches bool version
foo(true);   // matches bool version
foo(0);  // ambiguous
foo(1);  // ambiguous
foo(2);  // ambiguous
return 0;
}

The behavior is same with GCC 4.7.2 (using msys) and dmc.

Walter, now I changed my opinion. It seems not correct that being regarded
bool type as one of the integer.
How about?
