Casting to bool

[daurnimator]

I would expect bool(0) to be false and bool(1) to be true.

test "aaa" {
    @compileLog(@typeOf(bool(0)));
}

:29: error: expected type 'bool', found 'comptime_int'
    @compileLog(@typeOf(bool(0)));

For bool to int use @boolToInt. For int to bool, use x != 0.

It's intentional that implicit casting an integer to boolean does not work, otherwise this would work:

test "aaa" {
    if (0) {
        // ...
    }
}

Hey, what happended to @boolToInt?
Looks like it doesn't exist anymore, what should I use instead?

It has been renamed to @intFromBool.

Nope, now you have to use @bitCast

const number : u1 = @bitCast(boolean);

@tuket that is not true -- the comment you replied to is easily verified to be accurate. Please check before commenting incorrect information.

@mlugg You are right, sorry. I read somewhere else that you can use @bitcast (and it seems to work), but using @intFromBool seems more appropiate.
Thanks!
