[Bug c++/17705] New: Testing a bool using true doesn't work

[bliss1940-bbs at yahoo dot com]

bool fred = true;

if(fred == true)   {
   int something = 2;   //  never gets here
   }


The problem is the expression (fred == true) evaluates as false.
This seems to occur only with avr-gcc.  Linux gcc works as expected.


To further examine this you can add this code:
int fredValue = fred;
int trueValue = true:

I find that fred = 0x0001 and true = 0xffff.
