Bug 147888 – Remove UnspecifiedBoolType from WTF

• Component: Web Template Framework
• Status: NEW

[Keith Miller]

We still use the safe bool idiom (UnspecifiedBoolType) from pre C++11 in WTF. We should replace the safe bool idiom with explicit bool() instead.

What's the status of this bug? Did Geoff scare off Keith?

I saw the use of UnspecifiedBoolType in the sources and thought I'd get rid of it. But first I checked to see if there was any reason recorded for not not keeping it. That brought me to this bug. Is there any reason to not not not move forward with it?
