The ISO/IEC:14882:2003 states the following:
=A71.2 "The following referenced documents are indispensable for the
application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cite=
d
applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO/IEC 2382 (all parts), Information technology ? Vocabulary"
The highest number assigned to a part of ISO/IEC 2382 is 36. Assuming th=
is
is contiguous numbering, that would mean there are 36 documents specified
by the "(all parts)" qualification. The price for one these documents
ranges from $18US, to over $200US. I also believe many of these document=
s
would not be relevant to the ISO/IEC 14882. I firmly believe that clear
definitions of all domain specific terms should be provided either
directly, or via references in the ISO/IEC 14882. The ubiquitous referen=
ce
to "ISO/IEC 2382 (all parts), Information technology ? Vocabulary" is not=
a
useful means of providing such definitions.
