PARSER VERSION NUMBER: 7.2.1

PLATFORM (SPARC, HP700, PC, etc.): PC

OS AND VERSION: Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise 22H2, Build 22621.3296

REPORTED BY: Michael Mirmak, Intel Corporation

DATE: March 19, 2024

DESCRIPTION OF BUG:

In the IBISCHK7 source code, line 110 of ibis_chk.h contains the following line:

	typedef enum bool {FALSE, TRUE, UNKNOWN} BOOL;

This defines "BOOL" as a variable of enumerated type "bool", which may take on 
three (3) possible values.

However, Microsoft Windows has for a very long time used the following definition 
in WinDef.h and elsewhere: 

	typedef int BOOL;

(see Microsoft's documentation: 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog/windows-data-types)

This does not permit use of some compliers (such as Clang), which expect BOOL to 
be identical to int per the Windows definition.  Clang is of particular interest 
as a compiler due to its compatibility with some fuzzing tools.

For those working with the IBISCHK7 source code, this conflict can be avoided by 
renaming BOOL to another string (e.g., EBOOL).  However, this requires significant 
editing as the BOOL variable occurs in many locations across the code.  

************
Recommended fix from a code building expert: 
"The fix is simple, search and replace BOOL in the entire source code with some other name."

INSERT IBIS FILE DEMONSTRATING THE BUG:

This is an annoyance for programmers, not a bug triggered by particular IBIS
input.
