[R-pkg-devel] AlgDesign C Issue

Hi Duncan!

try to emulate it.

Understood. It seems like the definitions are exactly the same between the
two.

Currently there is no use of "bool" in any of the code (after having
changed bool to int everywhere in the code).

So I think I can replace the two lines in the original code with a call to
include the <stdbool.h> header --- does that seem reasonable?   Can I use
an include statement there in place of those two lines?

Thank you!
