In 12.7 of 14-007r1, we had this constraint:
C12101 A pure subprogram shall not contain a stop-stmt.
I can't see this in subsequent 007s. Was this a mistake? We still have,
in NOTE 15.48 of 17-007:
"From the programmer?s point of view, these constraints can be
summarized as follows: ... nor shall a pure subprogram contain any
operation that could conceivably perform any external file input/output
or STOP operation."
And in the Introduction of of 17-007, we have:
"The ERROR STOP statement can appear in a pure subprogram."
with nothing comparable about STOP.
Cheers,
John.
