So this is what I had before:

Spoiler

in the inc

PHP Code:

native bool:someNative(); 


PHP Code:

public APLRes:AskPluginLoad2(Handle:hMyself, bool:bLate, String:strError, Err_Max) {
    CreateNative("someNative", Native_SomeNative);
}

public Native_SomeNative(Handle:plugin, numParams) {
    //stuff
    return someBool;
} 


I turned it into this:

PHP Code:

public APLRes AskPluginLoad2(Handle hMyself, bool bLate, char[] strError, int Err_Max) {
    CreateNative("someNative", Native_SomeNative);
}

public bool Native_SomeNative(Handle plugin, int numParams) {
    //stuff
    return someBool;
} 


but that gives this compiler error:

error 100: function prototypes do not match

Replacing the "public bool" with "public int" seems to be the only way to compile without errors, but it bugs me since the native is returning a bool, not an int. Is this the correct way to "fix" this issue? Is that what this page is indicating?

CreateNative require callback NativeCall type, It need return int, in your code it return bool.

PHP Code:

public bool Native_SomeNative(Handle plugin, int numParams) { 


replace to

PHP Code:

public int Native_SomeNative(Handle plugin, int numParams) {

Natives always return an int.

[ddhoward]

Just to clarify, can I put " native bool:someNative(); " in the inc, and do "return someBool;" in the native's body? Or is there a more "proper" way to do it?

There is nothing more proper except for maybe adding a view_as<bool>

You have to remove the tag im the native call, return _:
In your inc you can use types.

warning 240: '_:' is an old-style tag operation; use view_as<int>(expression) instead

[Kailo]

Your question is answer!
replace

PHP Code:

_:var 


to

PHP Code:

view_as<int>(var) 


[WildCard65]

view_as<> was created to deprecate the retagging system(ex: _:var; bool:var).

PHP Code:

view_as<int>(somebool) //Same as doing: _:somebool
