<b>Title:</b> N2xxx: Missing DEC_EVAL_METHOD<br>
<b>Reference Documents:</b> N2478</p>
<p>Summary: Footnote 122 should have DEC_EVAL_METHOD added to
it.</p>
<p>WG14 N2478 C2X, 6.6 Constant expressions, paragraph 5 has:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If a floating expression is evaluated in the translation
environment, the arithmetic range and precision shall be at
least as great as if the expression were being evaluated in the
execution environment.122)</p>
<p>122) The use of evaluation formats as characterized by
FLT_EVAL_METHOD also applies to evaluation in the translation
environment.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Since decimal floating-point and DEC_EVAL_METHOD (5.2.4.2.3p2)
have been added to C2X, that footnote should be changed to:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>122) The use of evaluation formats as characterized by
FLT_EVAL_METHOD <ins>and DEC_EVAL_METHOD</ins> also applies to
evaluation in the translation environment.</p>
