Swapnajit,
Here are Ralph's LRM review notes as the official "Person C".
(He's on vacation or he would have sent them himself.)
11.6 Object Methods -- Clarity
Suggest changing the following statement:
"Note that the assignment to status is not:" <code example follows>
to
"Note that the following syntax is erroneous:"
11.11 Shallow Copy -- Definition
a. The following explanation makes it sound as if shallow copies don't
copy anything,
but merely make 2 handles point to the same object:
"This is known as a shallow copy. All of the variables are copied
across...
Objects, however, are not copied, only their handles...two names for
the same
object have been created..."
b. It appears that only nested (internal) objects objects aren't
copied.
c. Suggestion: change the explanatory text in 'a' above to:
"Nested objects, however, are not copied...two names for the same
nested object
have been created..."
12.4.11 Inout Mode Parameters Legal?
If constraint expressions cannot contain calls to functions with
parameter modes of
output or ref, shouldn't parameters with direction mode 'inout' also be
excluded?
Regards,
Doug
