+# `cfg_boolean_literals`
+
+The tracking issue for this feature is: [#00000]
+
+[#00000]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/00000
+
+------------------------
+
+The `cfg_boolean_literals` feature makes it possible to use the `true`/`false`
+literal as cfg predicate. They always evaluate to true/false respectively.
+
+## Examples
+
+```rust
+#![feature(cfg_boolean_literals)]
+
+#[cfg(true)]
+const A: i32 = 5;
+
+#[cfg(all(false))]
+const A: i32 = 58 * 89;
+```
