DDSXTY11 — Inconsistent extensibility kind for enumerations

  • Key: DDSXTY11-8
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16559
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: DECA ( Rick Warren)
  • Summary:

    The specification of the extensibility kind for enumeration types is inconsistent. Figure 10 in section 7.2.2.3.1, "Enumeration Types", indicates that the extensibility_kind of all enumeration types is FINAL. However, Table 11 in section 7.2.3, "Type Extensibility and Mutability", says, "Enumeration types may be final, extensible, or mutable on a type-by-type basis."

    Proposed Resolution:

    The assignability rules for enumerations already address different extensibility kinds, so we can preserve the more general statement from 7.2.3. Fix Figure 10.
