Qt uses bool extensively, but not necessarily the native bool type.
See what gcc -E says about src/tools/qglobal.h on your platform.
It may not matter much -- there are hardly any five-argument functions
in Qt.

Qt does not use exceptions at all. Making a library work with 14 C++
compilers necessitates some sacrifice :)
