Notable Changes to Issues and Papers as Moved

No motions have been voted into the working draft since N4296.

Other Notable Editorial Changes:

2013-04 CWG motion 4 moved that the proposed resolution of CWG1531 be adopted. However, due to an oversight, the motion stated that the resolution be taken from N3539 (which contains no wording for this issue) instead of the intended N3674. As a result, no modification was made to the standard for this issue. As the changes are editorial in nature, and the intent of the committee is clear, this Working Draft incorporates the changes for CWG1531 specified in N3674.

A bug has been fixed that resulted in cross-references to definitions (in [intro.defs] and [definitions]) missing the final number from their section.

Minor Editorial Fixes

A log of all editorial fixes made since N4296 is below:

commit 47bd8e96cf0528cab40c467cf65da25e7bd70bf5
Author: Richard Smith <richard@metafoo.co.uk>
Date:   Thu Apr 9 13:23:27 2015 -0700

commit 8866e4d6d43bc4b7456852e64a2838681a9c77d3
Author: Richard Smith <richard@metafoo.co.uk>
Date:   Wed Apr 8 19:13:26 2015 -0700

    CWG1531 Definition of "access" (verb)

    This was supposed to be moved by 201304 CWG motion 4, but that motion
    referred to N3539, which did not have wording for this issue, so it
    was technically never moved. However, the clear intent of the committee
    was to move this resolution and the resolution is editorial in nature.

    Fixes #464.

    [basic.stc.auto] Fix apparent contradiction: the `static` implied by

    and the design intent.
