!editorial comment 071 !topic Paragraph is difficult to understand. !reference ASIS 95-12.1 !from Ron Price 97-03-10 !keywords paragraph clarity !discussion -- Each pairing defines an inconsistent semantic dependence relationship. -- The second unit of each pair depends semantically on the first unit. -- All units appearing second (units with even numbered list indexes) are -- always considered to be inconsistent and will not appear in the consistent -- units list. Units appearing first can be either consistent units that -- also appear in the consistent units list, or can be inconsistent units -- that are part of an inconsistent transitive relationship. Recommended Changes: -- Each pairing defines an inconsistent semantic dependence relationship. The right -- unit of each pair semantically depends on the preceding left unit. All rightmost -- units of each pair are always inconsistent, and will not appear in the consistent -- units list. The leftmost unit can be either consistent or inconsistent. If a -- leftmost unit is consistent then it also appears in the consistent units list; -- otherwise the unit is part of an inconsistent transitive relationship. NOTE: 1) If the recommendation is accepted then the following paragraph will also have the modified: -- The list indicates that units C, B, and A are inconsistent (the second -- units of each pair). Semantic dependencies such as B depends on C -- also are indicated. The units C, B, and A are in an order that could be -- submitted to the compiler (a possible recompilation order). Further Modifications: -- The list indicates that units C, B, and A are inconsistent (the rightmost -- units of each pair). Semantic dependencies such as B depends on C -- also are indicated. The units C, B, and A are in an order that could be -- submitted to the compiler (a possible recompilation order). !resolution Accept. Provided replacement paragraph is used for clarification.
