RE: [sv-ec] "string literal" and "literal string"

Shalom,

Maybe it should be "cast to a packed or unpacked array type".  Consider
from 4.14 --

   "In a static cast, the expression to be cast shall be enclosed in
parentheses that are prefixed with the casting type and an apostrophe.
If the expression is assignment compatible with the casting type, then
the cast shall return the value that a variable of the casting type
would hold after being assigned the expression."

Subject: [sv-ec] "string literal" and "literal string"


 

The term "string literal" occurs 42 times in 1800.

"literal string" appears 4 times, in 3.1, 3.6 (next to last para.), 4.7
(para. 3), and 23.2 (page bottom).

On the face of it, they appear to refer to the same thing.

But if so, this statement from 3.6 appears to be a tautology:

"String literals can also be cast to a packed or unpacked array, which
shall follow the same rules as assigning a literal string to a packed or
unpacked array."

Can anyone explain?

Thanks,

Shalom
