IDL43 — Casting rules are never defined

Open Closed All
  • Key: IDL43-109
  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Foxglove Technologies Inc ( Mak Nazecic-Andrlon)
  • Summary:

    The specification says "[...] a constant expression (<const_expr>) matching (or automatically castable) to, the defined type
    of the discriminator." but "automatically castable to" is never defined. This is also the only place in the specification in which the word "cast" appears.
