Once again, this is why I prefer to not use macros or enums for things like this, just use 0 or 1 and let the semantics hang. Let the compiler do its thing without interference.

However, the usual solution, for those who prefer semantics, is to prefix with a namespace in some way. For a macro, CS_TRUE (better yet, CSOUND_TRUE) would not conflict with some other macro (or enum) for TRUE. Similarly, an enum CSOUND_TRUE or cs::true would not conflict with some other enum (or macro).

Regards,
Mike
