N614 (10/96) Alternative for sprintf N580/N581 (10/96) Varargs for function-like macros Reminder of what the stages mean, the stages only give the state the proposal is in. Proposals can skip stages. This is adapted from N556 and N585 as accepted at the June 96, Amsterdam meeting: Stage 1 = proposal w/o technical details requesting interest from WG14 for development of a technical proposal. Stage 2 = technical proposal, ready for consideration by WG14. Stage 3 = principally accepted, for inclusion into C9X. At this stage the exact C9X changes must be drafted and edited by the review committee. After review, the final C9X changes are to be included in a mailing for final approval by WG14 for inclusion into the C9X draft. Stage 4 = accepted by WG14 for inclusion as is into C9X. The proposal contains the specific editing instructions to change the C9X draft, and is ready to be included in the next C9X draft. Stage 5 = changes applied to the latest C9X draft. Stage 6 = verified by the review committee as being correctly applied in the C9X draft.
