Also, the fix, though it retains the behavior, has a high chance to be incorrect. Can you share the results of running this check on LLVM? At least, how many problems it found and how many times the suggested fix was correct.

There were many places. Most of them where when assigning true/false to some member which was int.
The other place was inside some functions that were returning only true or false, but the return type of this function was int, so I guess what programmer meant there was to return bool.
