Dear readers:

So where's the list of typos in the ANSI distributed
version of ISO/IEC 14882:1998(E), otherwise known
as Standard C++?

Can anyone confirm that at the top of page 675, that
the for statement is missing a semicolon in the
iteration-statement rule?

Thanks,
Eric.

What missing semicolon?  I think this is OK.  Are you
referring to the "for" definition.  That one made me
do a doubletake the first time I saw it in the draft.
However note that the "for-init-statement" already
embodies a semicolon.  In C it's for(expr; expr; expr)
but in C++ it is for(statement expr; expr).

I presume this shennanigan is to accomodated an initialized
declaration there (i.e... for(int i = 0; i < 10 ; i++)

The newsgroup FAQ was updated yesterday to cover this sort
of question. The procedures for submitting Defect Reports
(which include reports of errors as well as requests for
clarification) have not yet been established. When they
are, there will probably be a web site devoted to reported
problems and questions.

Nope, it's correct. A for-init-statement is an expression-statement
or a simple-declaration. Follow the productions for expression-
statement and simple-declaration, and notice that every production
already ends with a semicolon.

The semicolon is there.  It's just hidden in the definition of
|for-init-statement|.  A |for-init-statement| is a
|expression-statement| is a |expression_opt ;|, i.e., an optional
expression followed by a semicolon.
