Ah right. Thanks for the correction. So looks like bool won't work for
the same reasons. But unsigned int should work right? But then again
this is a boolean value and if we want to be paranoid we can simply
tweak the 'c = h3' assignment to be something like:

c = !!h3;

So in the end, I'm happy with int or unsigned int.

Regards,
