Hi,
A bug in agent++ v4.7.0 configure.ac means NEED_DEFINE_BOOL always gets set to true, causing bool to be defined as int. The bug was introduced in agent++ v4.7.0 when AC_CXX_BOOL got renamed to AX_CXX_BOOL in configure.ac.
Following patch fixes the issue:
--- a/configure.ac
+++ b/configure.ac
@@ -246,7 +246,7 @@ AC_TYPE_PID_T

AS_IF([test "x${acx_with_libsnmp}" != "xyes"], [AC_MSG_ERROR([libsnmp++ is mandatory and must not be disabled])])
Because a C++11 compatible compiler is required to build the code, a better fix might be to remove the check for build-in bool completely, as
it should never be necessary to define bool as int.
Best regards,
Holger
