In particular, the meaning of "signed/unsigned integer type" now includes implementation-defined extended types. So, is the sentence quoted above meant to include those ones too? Or was it just not synchronized with the changes made earlier in the same section? One issue here is that we have no longer a standard nomenclature to denote the set { bool, char, wchar_t } U StandardIntegerTypes, which is what I was looking for. (Incidentally, it would have been nice to solve once for all the error-prone distinction "integer" vs. "integral") Genny. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
