Incomplete because there are no rules on which function should be called when a type-generic macro is called with a non fixed-point type argument. Possibly wrong, because it is not clear what the name of the type-generic macro's should be: 2.1.7.6 suggest to call the type-generic abs function 'absfx', in 7.18a.6.7 the 'fx' part of the name is in italic which might suggest that the name should really be 'abs'. So, do we want to have 'abs', 'round' and 'countls', or 'absfx', 'roundfx' and 'countls'? - Willem. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Willem Wakker email: cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc ACE Consulting bv tel: +31 20 664 6416 De Ruyterkade 113 fax: +31 20 675 0389 1011 AB Amsterdam, The Netherlands www: http://www.ace.nl eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
