   You should really be clear about what, exactly, these programs   
   are showing.  Again, I believe that most of what the specific   
   combination of languages and compilers at play here treat   
   different integers, when used in a boolean context.  But all of   
   that can easily be determined from the relevant language or ABI   
   documentation.

   Sure.  That's specified by the ABI.
