The return type is bool. I would think that gcc would be smart enough
to make the conversion.

To check, I compiled the following function:

bool testbool(int x)
{
        return x & 1<<3;
}

and the result was:


0000000000000000 <testbool>:
   0:   55                      push   %rbp
   1:   48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
   4:   89 7d fc                mov    %edi,-0x4(%rbp)
   7:   8b 45 fc                mov    -0x4(%rbp),%eax
   a:   83 e0 08                and    $0x8,%eax
   d:   85 c0                   test   %eax,%eax
   f:   0f 95 c0                setne  %al
  12:   5d                      pop    %rbp
  13:   c3                      retq   

I get the same by adding !!(x & 1<<3)

Looks like it does the conversion.
