Issue 16605: Traditional for-statement not supported by Alf? (alf-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Enhancement
Severity: Significant
Summary: When we read chapter 9.12 we conclude that the traditional for-statement of languages such as C/C++ and Java, is not supported by Alf. Only for-statements that iterate based on collections are supported now.
We think the traditional for-statement with loop variable initialization, termination condition and iteration step should be supported. For example
for (Integer i = 0; i < x; i++) { ... }
Resolution: The FTF agrees that this is an issue worth considering, but, due to lack of time, decided to defer its resolution to a future RTF working on this specification.
