Subject: parameter declaration issues in the BNF

two more small BNF issues I found today
1. Under A.2.1.1 (page 94) in the rule that parses the parameter_declaration
syntactic category, The word "type" should be in bold font. Note that in
page 81 the word "type" is in bold font.
The BNF :
parameter_declaration ::=
parameter [ signing ] { packed_dimension } [ range ]
list_of_param_assignments
| parameter data_type list_of_param_assignments
| parameter type list_of_type_assignments
2. According to the BNF (A.2.4 and A.8.3)
the following RTL is parseable :
parameter type mytype1 = int; // this is O.K. defining mytype1 as an
int (see section 14.2).
parameter p1 = int; // Is this O.K. ?
parameter int p2 = long; // ???
The BNF :
A.2.4 : param_assignment ::= parameter_identifier =
constant_param_expression
A.8.3 : constant_param_expression ::=
constant_expression
| data_type
should the "data_type" syntactic category be removed from the rule that
parses constant_param_expression ?
Thanks,
