Replace bool with int in a dll used in multi-languages

Hi
I have a dll that is beeing called by C++, VBA, Java and C#
One of my customers does not like that I have bool in the argument list
of some of the exported functions so I want to replace all my bool
arguments
with a int argument.
But is -1 treated as false or true in the 4 languages above?

Thanks Torben

1) is C++ smart enough to automatically use "bits" for bool or will a bool have the size of a charcter (byte). 2) The index of a vector is it an integer (4 byte) or a "long long" with 8 bytes or something else? I ask because I want to use vector<bool> with a few billion entries exceeding the int32 range for indexing and I want to use as few memory as possible for the whole

Hello, I was wondering if there is a method that exists to replace multi-spaces within a string with single-space. eg: "12 3 4 56" --> "12 3 4 56" I think this could be done by looking at each char within a loop and copying the char to a stringBuilder instance if current and previous char are not spaces...

First of all: I love C and think that it's beautiful. However, there is at least one MAJOR flaw: the lack of a boolean type. OK. Some of you might refer to C99 and its _Bool (what's up with the uppercase 'B' anyway?) and the header you can include (apparently) to get a real "bool". This isn't my point, however -- it should have been there from the beginning. Char is a small int. We all know that. However, "char some_bool = 0;" simply...
