Re: Relation between P1788 and P1788.1



Vincent,

Yes, that is true.  Certainly, that would be true of any
standard that is a subset of any other standard.  For instance
a USB 3 conforming device (USB is a standard but not an
IEEE standard) might not function in a USB 2 port, but
a USB 2 device should function in a USB 3 port, n'est pas?

Vincent,

Can you explain?

For instance, a program may call a function specified by 1788 but
not by 1788.1, with incorrect types. Such a program would not be
1788-conforming because of that, but there's nothing that prevents
it from being 1788.1-conforming since this function is not specified
by 1788.1.

Now, a conforming *program* has not been defined anywhere, AFAIK (but
I suppose that this can only be done from a language specification).
