Issue 185: Return value of maximum() for unbounded sequences (cxx_revision) Source: (, ) Nature: Uncategorized Severity: CRITICAL Summary: Summary: Return value of maximum() for unbounded sequences must be specified. Resolution: resolved, close issue Revised Text: Paragraph 11 on page 38 fully explains the return values of maximum(), so that it is not an issue. Wording of page 37 para 3 should be similar to wording of first sentence of para 13 p. 38.Wording should be added to front of C++ Mapping Spec that defines Actions taken: October 14, 1996: received issue February 19, 1999: closed issue Discussion: End of Annotations:===== >From juergen@omg.org Thu Oct 24 14:48:06 1996 Received: from rune.omg.org by amethyst.omg.org.omg.org (5.4R2.01/1.34) id AA14867; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 14:48:06 -0400 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19961024184745.00727cf0@amethyst.omg.org> X-Sender: juergen@amethyst.omg.org X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 14:47:45 -0400 To: issues, cxx_revision From: Juergen Boldt Subject: issue185 This is issue # 185 Title: Return value of maximum() for unbounded sequences Desc: Return value of maximum() for unbounded sequences must be specified. -Juergen >From vinoski@apollo.hp.com Thu Oct 24 15:58:03 1996 Received: from amway.ch.apollo.hp.com by amethyst.omg.org.omg.org (5.4R2.01/1.34) id AA16232; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 15:58:03 -0400 Received: from nis_mstr.ch.apollo.hp.com by amway.ch.apollo.hp.com id Thu, 24 Oct 1996 15:55:04 -0400 Received: from earl.ch.apollo.hp.com by nis_mstr.ch.apollo.hp.com id AA259516903; Thu, 24 Oct 1996 15:55:03 -0400 Message-Id: <2.2.32.19961024195555.006efe50@pop-e3.ch.apollo.hp.com> X-Sender: vinoski@pop-e3.ch.apollo.hp.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 24 Oct 1996 15:55:55 -0400 To: cxx_revision@omg.org From: Steve Vinoski Subject: Re: issue185 At 02:47 PM 10/24/96 -0400, Juergen Boldt wrote: >This is issue # 185 > > >Title: Return value of maximum() for unbounded sequences > > >Desc: Return value of maximum() for unbounded sequences must be > specified. It already is. Page 16-23 of the latest C++ mapping, paragraph 12, says: "For an unbounded sequence, the maximum() accessor function returns the total amount of buffer space currently available." In other words, if the current buffer can hold 12 sequence items, maximum() should return 12. --steve >From jis@tagore.fpk.hp.com Fri Oct 25 11:58:06 1996 Received: from hp.com by amethyst.omg.org.omg.org (5.4R2.01/1.34) id AA27498; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 11:58:06 -0400 Received: from hpnj1.fpk.hp.com by hp.com with ESMTP (1.37.109.16/15.5+ECS 3.3) id AA174388904; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 08:55:05 -0700 Received: from tagore.fpk.hp.com by hpnj1.fpk.hp.com with SMTP (1.37.109.16/15.5+ECS 3.3) id AA139598775; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 11:52:55 -0400 Received: by tagore.fpk.hp.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA10181; Fri, 25 Oct 96 11:50:15 EDT Received: from Messages.8.5.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.tagore.fpk.hp.com.sun4.41 via MS.5.6.tagore.fpk.hp.com.sun4_41; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 11:50:15 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: Date: Fri, 25 Oct 1996 11:50:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Jishnu Mukerji Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII To: cxx_revision@omg.org, Steve Vinoski Subject: Re: issue185 In-Reply-To: <2.2.32.19961024195555.006efe50@pop-e3.ch.apollo.hp.com> References: <2.2.32.19961024195555.006efe50@pop-e3.ch.apollo.hp.com> Excerpts from Org.OMG.C++: 24-Oct-96 Re: issue185 Steve Vinoski@apollo.hp.

The status of the issue in the issues list was not "Fixed". It had some other stuff about defining the meaning of "shall" etc., which clearly should be sent to the English Language RTF:-). I will close this one at the first opportunity. Thanks. Jishnu.
