--- Comment #60 from Andrei Alexandrescu <and...@metalanguage.com> 2012-05-06 19:48:55 PDT --- This has been some significant pwning of Walter and myself, and I think there is a larger lesson here we should learn. We essentially operated from vague memories instead of actually going back and revisit the sources. This must be how some dogma is born - an imprecise and incorrect recollection of some assumption that becomes petrified. What I think we should do going forward is to make sure we state and document our assumptions instead of relying on rote recollection. The DbC-related documentation and language specification should contain chapter and page of Meyer's work. There's a good reason why all academic work makes sure cites all of its sources, and even that is liable to mistakes of the kind we've done. Thanks to all who have pursued this matter. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
