Neil,

Regarding Mantis 3394, I will ask the same question that I asked Dave:
Can you point out the text in the LRM that would indicate that the initialization expression of a dynamic array 'new' is an assignment-like context? If there is such text, then the example is legal and I withdraw my complaint. If there isn't, then the example is illegal.

(1) Mantis 3046 ___Yes _X_No

    I agree with a lot of what Arturo mentioned.
    To tell you the truth, I don't think this set of changes is even necessary.
    I agree with the summary of the examples described in the mantis item, but
    it seems to me that the existing text leads to this conclusion.

(2) Mantis 2506 ___Yes ___No
     2506_v5.pdf

     I didn't have time to review this one in detail.

(3) Mantis 3531 _X_Yes ___No
(4) Mantis 3394 ___Yes _X_No

    It isn't clear to me that this example is invalid.
    Aren't both the existing text and the proposed text legal?
    I agree with the change in the comment for dest2.

(5) Mantis 2905 _X_Yes ___No
(6) Mantis 3254 _X_Yes ___No
(7) Mantis 3298 ___Yes _X_No

    By making this change, it creates a new problem in the existing text.
    The following sentence assumes 'this' can only be used in a class
    subroutine.

    "The this keyword denotes a predefined object handle that refers to the
     object that was used to invoke the subroutine that this is used within."

Friendly amendments:
    The new text should be in blue and not underlined.
    The mantis item should also be shown at the top of the proposal.

(8) Mantis 3054 _X_Yes ___No CLOSE as duplicate of 3202 (sv-ac)
(9) Mantis 2935 _X_Yes ___No
