C++ use of bool

[Tony van der Hoff]

It turns out (I think), that |bool| was introduced as a keyword only in
the 1998 version of the C++ standard. The previous (1991?) standard made
no mention of it, although many pre-1998 implementations contained it.
CFront is based on the earlier standard, and does not implement bool.

It would be extremely useful if C++ 1998 conformant compilers (and in
particular G++) were to identify themselves, much in the same way as C99
does by means of a version macro.

I can't find any public domain access to the standard, so does anyone
out there have access to it? If so, does it define a version macro? Does
G++?
