Re: Can you clarify? Re: Do I have a second? Re: Motion to stop work on the standard

However I'm rather worried that there are no reference implementations
yet, and when one becomes ready, there will not be much time to test
it. So, this increases the risk to have a bad standard.


I pointed out several times that IMHO there is a severe problem with infinity in the proposed standard. Then I wrote a paper solving this, offering other advantages as well:

S.M. Rump. Interval Arithmetic Over Finitely Many Endpoints. BIT Numerical Mathematics, 52(4):1059–1075, 2012.

The only comment I heard from the stds-1788 mail group was that there is no reference implementation. What a strange logic.

Best wishes,
