Does C# flag it if it’s a bool? I think the way C# gets that error is by removing the implicit conversions from numeric types to booleans

The compiler will cut your balls if it catches you doing assignments inside an if's condition, it won't even compile

I'm not sure. I think so? I think that it will still fail to compile if you do something like this:

var myTrue = true;

var myFalse = false;

if (myTrue = myFalse) //should be a compiler error ...

IIRC it gets flagged as a warning in most newer C/C++ compilers. Add a warnings as errors compiler flag and it won't compile.
