RE: [sv-bc] Proposal for 1750 %p and %0p

Changes made. I split up the description of printing unpacked arrays,
structures and packed structures to make it clearer.

Dave,

 

It looks good, but I would just have the new text, beginning "An
unpacked data type is traversed," begin a new paragraph.

 

Looking at the existing text, I see a little room for confusion. The
text starts,

"The %p format specifier may be used to print aggregate expressions such
as unpacked structures, arrays, and unions. For both packed and unpacked
data types, it shall print the value as an assignment pattern with named
elements."

The first sentence examples are all unpacked. The second sentence
mentions both packed and unpacked types.

Then, "An unpacked data type is traversed until reaching a singular data
type," again unpacked only.

I find the text unclear as to how a packed data type should be printed.

Thanks,

Shalom

	I have upload a proposal that clarifies that %p may also be used
to print non-aggregates. In doing so I realized that mantis 331 did not
specify how each non-aggregate element within an aggregate should be
printed.
