Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2470) 3.2 ExpressionCalculation is a mixure of observations, rules and possible suggestions
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2470?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=22552#action_22552 ] Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-2470: ----------------------------------------- Eike, one possible tweak: Expressions in OpenFormula *shall* be evaluated by application of the following rules until no further evaluations remain: -> Expressions in OpenFormula *shall* be evaluated by application of the following rules: Question: If the rules lead to self-termination (what about looping references?) then isn't following the rules sufficient? > 3.2 Expression Calculation is a mixure of observations, rules and possible suggestions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-2470 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2470 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OpenFormula > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05 > Reporter: Patrick Durusau > Assignee: Eike Rathke > Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06 > > > 3.2 Expression Calculation is a mixture of observations, rules and possible suggestions. > For example, it starts by saying formulas are recalculated from "outside in," only to confess a few paragraphs later that is how it "appears to the end user." > There is one really glaring hole in my proposal, that also exists in the current language. > We describe the ordering of operators but as far as I can tell, we don't address the situation where there is a mixture of operators and functions. > Note that I changed #1 from constant number/string and added error. > As near as I can determine, the only possible outcomes of any expression are: > 1) a number > 2) a string > 3) an error > 4) a reference > So, application of these rules self-terminates when any of those conditions obtain. > Yes, that removes "constant number," "constant string" but those are defined elsewhere anyway. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
