int and bool confusion

Hello,
I am struggling facing a strange problem which hasn't been showing up so far.

1) warning C4805: '==' : unsafe mix of type 'int' and type 'bool' in operation
2) error C2556: 'int GameManager::initialise(const std::string &)' : overloaded function differs only by return type from 'bool GameManager::initialise(const std::string &)'

Caused by these code fragments:

1)
static std::string formatBoolean(bool value){
std::string toBeReturned("");
if(value == true){//WARNING POINTS HERE
toBeReturned+="true";
}
else{
toBeReturned+="false";
}
return toBeReturned;
}

2)

cpp file:

bool GameManager::initialise(const std::string& stateName){//ERROR POINTS HERE
InputManager::getInstance().setLogger(mLogger);
PhysicsEngineManager::getInstance().setLogger(mLogger);
RenderingEngineManager::getInstance().setLogger(mLogger);
AudioEngine::getInstance().setLogger(mLogger);
return changeState(statesMap[stateName]);
}

.h file
bool initialise(const std::string& stateName);

May you kindly please tell me what's going on

Look for code that tries to redefine bool eg.

typedef int bool;
#define bool int

Many thanks, that was the reason.

Change your code as following;

static std::string formatBoolean(bool value){
std::string toBeReturned("");

if(value){
toBeReturned+="true";
}
else{
toBeReturned+="false";
}
return toBeReturned;
}

Have Fun coding!
