The following comments are about specification of complex suffixes in N3435.

6.4.5.3 #5 The third sentence, beginning with "An unsuffixed floating literal …”, should begin a new paragraph.

6.4.5.3 #2 Is 1.2dfi a constraint violation? Footnote 66 says yes if the implementation does not support decimal types. But this should be implied by the normative specification. What if the implementation supports decimal types? The suffix dfi does not describe a type (because C does not specify complex decimal types), so it satisfies the constraint that it "not designate a type that the implementation does not provide.” Consider changing to “designates a type that the implementation provides.”
