From: Steven Sharp <sharp@cadence.com> To: etf-bugs@boyd.com Cc: Subject: enhancement/538: tentative resolution Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 18:51:59 -0400 (EDT) The datatypes subgroup may wish to use this syntax for a specific purpose (packed array of integers). Allowing this syntax with the semantics that the range is ignored would prevent that other usage. If that other usage is allowed, there could be a backward compatibility issue for implementations that are allowing this illegal syntax and ignoring it. Enhancement 287 might provide them a method of maintaining that backward compatibility. Steven Sharp sharp@cadence.com |
