C does not have a 'bool' type.

Actually the latest version (C99) does have such a type, but you have to include <stdbool.h> to make it visible by that name. "bool" is implemented using a new integer type _Bool. _Bool requires special behavior when values are converted to it, so it can't be implemented as a simple typedef of some other integer type.
