[sv-ac] RE: lvalue

Hi,

should we then add something along the line as it is defined for C++?
The lvalue expression designates (refers to) an object. A non-modifiable lvalue is addressable, but not assignable. A modifiable lvalue allows the designated object to be changed as well as examined.

Subject: [sv-ac] lvalue

Hi,

While looking at Mantis 2839, I found the following text in 16.14.6:

" A sequence treats its formal argument as a local variable if the formal argument is used as an lvalue in operator_assignment or inc_or_dec_expression in sequence_match_item."

As far as I could see, this is the only place in the LRM where "lvalue" is used as a word and not as a part of a syntax construct such as variable_lvalue. In particular, it is not defined anywhere, and it is not a word in the English language. Since it is not used this way anywhere else, I think it should be replaced by something else.

Regards,
Shalom
