[Gretl-devel] Re: Build failures with gcc 15
Thanks for the heads-up, Johannes. I've renamed the 'bool' identifier
in libgretl's boxplot code, in git and also the snapshot at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/gretl-source.tar.xz
Please let us know if there are any remaining C23 no-no's.
