[intro.refs] ISO/IEC 2382 missing date #3191
Conversation

This might be a normative change, more suited for an NB comment. |
Undated references are mentioned to indicate the latest edition. However, the latest edition of ISO/IEC 2382 is from 2015 (see https://www.iso.org/standard/63598.html), and the only place in the standard which mentions ISO/IEC 2382 explicitly is [intro.defs] and it mentions it along with the edition from 1993. So it seems like either the 1993 edition should be explicitly listed in [intro.refs] (this is the suggested fix in this pull request) or the document (or at least the explicit reference in [intro.defs]) should be updated to mention the 2015 edition (assuming there were no breaking changes since 1993, which I definitely did *not* verify).

ISO/IEC 2382:1993 has been withdrawn (https://www.iso.org/standard/7229.html). If at all possible, we should instead reference the 2015 version (https://www.iso.org/standard/63598.html). We'll need to check which terms were added in the 2015 version and whether we're using those terms for conflicting purposes. That seems like a substantial amount of checking, and should probably be done via a paper (including a presentation of the findings -- what are the new and potentially-conflicting terms, how do they conflict, and what resolutions are being taken for each such case, if any). |

Obvious conflicts (just examples): "access" and "object". We need to discuss how to deal with such conflicts in general. |
