Summary 0000957: "default initial value" unclearness
Description 4.10.4.3 and 4.10.4.4 say that "If the given value is not a member of the enumeration, the next()/prev() method returns the default initial value for the enumeration."

At this point in the LRM, "default initial value" has not yet been defined. There should be a reference to Table 6-1.

Further, the phrase "default initial value for the enumeration" is not quite correct. For example, the enumeration may be a net and not a variable. A more accurate, though more wordy, formulation is something like "default initial value for a variable of the enumeration base type, as specified in Table 6-1".


Also, the phrase "default uninitialized value" appears twice, in 5.3 and in 8.18. Is this intended to be the same as "default initial value"?

Similarly, the mentions of "default initial value" in 4.11 and 5.6.1 should also reference Table 6-1.

From July 31,2006 meeting

  Dave will take this over and combine tables 5-1 and 6-1 into a single
  table in clause 4.
