Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2326) Treat all typesequally, i.e., no pseudotypes
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2326?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17830#action_17830 ]
Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2326:
-----------------------------------------
Andreas, I am happy to learn that Error Values are not included under any other types. I don't think they should be but I couldn't mind-read through the parts that suggest they are a subtype of everything.
Andreas, it appears that in many cases it is implicit that an error value or a value of a specific type can occur as a parameter and also one or the other can be considered a produced result. That is not at all unlike a union type. We don't need to introduce the notion formally, but we probably need to be clear about it. I suppose, for example, that even ISERR(...) and ISERROR(...) can fail on their own.
David, functions definition are often pretty silent about when and whether an error value is returned, especially since sometimes there is an effort to not constrain an implementation. I'm with you in spirit, but execution is a little spotty on this one.
