re: UK request for interpretation cai027 ( Defect Report #017 Question 27)
X3J11 refs: 90-056, 90-083
It has been pointed out, and the UK C panel agreed at its last meeting, that the request for interpretation was unnecessary. The C Standard was clear and unambiguous as is.
To make matters worse, X3J11 appears to have given an interpretation that is the opposite of what the C Standard says.
The UK would like to withdraw this request for interpretation and ask the Committee to reconsider its position.
Comment from WG14 on 1997-09-23:
We reaffirm the previous interpretation.
