Hello all,
With regard to the grammar for C++ (as defined in the 1998 Standard) and the
language it defines...
Is there any place where I can find:
1. A comprehensive listing of all the ambiguities in the grammar. The
Standard itself refers in places to ambiguities in the grammar. If I were
to collect all of these references, would I have a *comprehensive* list of
the ambiguities? Does anybody know where I might find a list of all
ambiguities shown together for easy reference?
2. A comprehensive listing of all aspects of the language that are context
sensitive. e.g. x*y; Is this a pointer declaration or a multiplication? It
depends on if x is a type or a variable...
Thanks!
Dave
