I don't remember. I never use it under those circumstances, probably because 
it's implementation-defined.

There are a handful of operators for which that's true. The rest, not so much.

The real way to think of it is "BZ" and "BNZ" - branch on zero, and branch 
on not zero.  Of course, if you don't know common modern assembler, that 
might not be any easier to remember.

Neither can actually refer to the other, so you're good to go there. Just 
use the normal header file stuff.

Everything you refer to has to be compiled in the same compilation unit, so 
C and C++ really don't have any trouble with circular references. A benefit 
I never really realized before.
