Inconsistent description of C++ extensions to header <cstddef> LWG3484 #4144
Description
Activity
As far as I can tell, [cstddef.syn] does contain
nullptr_t,.Line 58 in aca06a2
I agree that we should add mention of
nullptr_tto [depr.c.header.others].See LWG3484
- changed the title

In addition to importing the contents of <stddef.h> into namespace std, the header also adds the typedef nullptr_t, and type byte, and operations on type byte. This additions are partially described in two different locations:
[cstddef.syn]p1 notes the addition of byte and its operations, but makes no mention of nullptr_t.
[diff.mods.to.declarations]p3 (in the C compatibility annex) notes the addition of nullptr_t, but says nothing about byte and its operations.
For consistency, we should either consolidate this descriptive material to either one place, or duplicate it completely in both. Opening and issue, rather than filing an initial PR, as not sure which direction would be preferred.
