gboolean vs bool?

[nickos]

alright so ive seen in many functions of type gbolean that return true or false.Is there any difference if its of type bool?

[Bachstelze]

The difference is that gboolean is not standard, while bool is.

Wasn't gboolean introduced for having a bool equivalent in glibc since C does not have a bool type?

gboolean is a GLib type, not glibc. GLib is the core library used by GNOME, while glibc is the GNU C library. Totally different things.

Otherwise they are mostly the same, a gboolean is an int that should only hold two values, TRUE and FALSE (uppercase). FALSE is defined as 0 and TRUE is defined as !FALSE.
