Formal comment #147 (defect) Nothing is said to be safe Status: closed (worksforme) Reported by: William D Clinger Version: 5.92 The safety guarantees of section 4.5 hold only for programs and libraries that are "said to be safe". Since the meaning of that phrase is not defined within the report, and no programs and libraries are explicitly alleged to be safe, the safety guarantees of 4.5 are meaningless. Comparison with 5.91 shows that the first paragraph of section 4.5 was dropped in 5.92. Section 4.5 should be either dropped in its entirety or revised so it actually says something. Will RESPONSE: In the next draft, section 4.5 will clarify the notion of "safe library" and "safe program".
