| Summary | 0001092: "The reduction shall then proceed" is incorrect | ||||
| Description | "The reduction shall then proceed" is incorrect. Depending on the token identifier yielded, the reduction may or may not proceed (if the identifier is not the "expected" one, then usually a syntax error would result and the whole program string would not be accepted by the grammar). | ||||
| Desired Action | Change "The reduction shall then proceed" to "The reduction shall then proceed or not," . | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Please, no, "x or not" is always a useless sentence, for any value of "x". It says precisely nothing. If some change is needed here (if) then it needs to be different than suggested. Perhaps rather than "then proceed" it could be "be attempted" - though personally I don't see those two as meaning anything different. "proceeed" does not mean "succeed". |
|
|
I agree that "x or not" is pointless. On the other hand, "proceed" absolutely means "succeed" in this context. "proceed" means, in English, "to move forward" (or some such), it definitely does not mean "attempt to move forward". In this context, if you moved forward, that means, the reduction succeeded. |
