This:

bit b;
...
b|=(x==y);

produces this:

Internal error: ..\ztc\glopp.c 1619

But if I change it to:

b=b|(x==y);

it says 'cannot implicitly convert int to bit', so I had to do this:

b=cast(bit)(b|(x==y));

I think it's kind of weird. Just in case, I prefer to use bits for booleans.

It shouldn't produce an error, but it's invalid code: "bit" is not an integer type.
 But if I change it to:
 
 b=b|(x==y);
Use "b=b||(x==y);".

There is a difference between

b|c and b||c

b|c should always be eval'ed.
( a|b|c) (should not produce jumps)
( a || b || c ) should !

C 101 time eh. || is also a sequence point, so "a ++ || a ++" has a defined result. But it has nothing to do with Carlos' code.
