VSIPLXX12 — "this header is usually included" should be excluded

  • Key: VSIPLXX12-3
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18198
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: dpdx.net ( Brooks Moses)
  • Summary:

    These sections contain phrases like, "Note: This header file is usually
    included in other header files so direct inclusion is rarely necessary."

    This is non-normative, and because "usually" means "some implementations
    may not do this", it is not helpful to users in writing
    standard-conformant code. In fact, it encourages users to write
    non-comforming code! These should be removed.
