J3/13-303 To: J3 From: Van Snyder Subject: For editorial consideration concerning "nonpointer function" Date: 2013 August 13 Reference: WG5/N1987, interpretation F08/0089 1. The problem -------------- The term "pointer function" is not used as a noun, and "nonpointer function" is used as a noun only once. It ought to be "function whose result is not a pointer." Interpretation F08/0089, if passed as in N1987, would introduce the term "pointer function". If it passes without amendment, either the text revised by that interpretation ought also to be further revised so as not to use the term "pointer function", or the edit here ought not to be applied. 2. Edits -------- [12-007:16.6.5p1(25) 454:36] Replace "nonpointer function" with "function whose result is not a pointer".
