H.2 Documentation of Implementation Decisions

Documentation Requirements

  1. The implementation shall document the range of effects for each situation that the language rules identify as either a bounded error or as having an unspecified effect. If the implementation can constrain the effects of erroneous execution for a given construct, then it shall document such constraints. The documentation might be provided either independently of any compilation unit or partition, or as part of an annotated listing for a given unit or partition. See also See section 1.1.3 Conformity of an Implementation with the Standard, and See section 1.1.2 Structure.

    NOTES

  2. (5) Among the situations to be documented are the conventions chosen for parameter passing, the methods used for the management of run-time storage, and the method used to evaluate numeric expressions if this involves extended range or extra precision.
