Hi,
In the N3047 draft, page vi:
The terms "floating-point type" and "floating-point constant" were
changed to just be "floating type" and "floating constant", as are
defined in the standard, respectively.
But I could see 2 occurrences of "floating-point type" and one
occurrence of "floating-point constant" in the text:
5.2.4.2.2#1 page 22
[...] shall implement floating-point types and arithmetic [...]
Shouldn't this be "shall implement floating types and floating-point
arithmetic"?
6.7.1#13 page 96
[...] Equally, an implementation that uses excess precision for
floating-point constants violates the constraint [...]
H.3#7 page 549
the difference between 1 and the least value greater than 1 that
is representable in the given floating-point type, b^{1−p}
