Explicit Type Conversion and Multiple Simple Type Specifiers

by

I posted this question to comp.lang.c++.moderated.

Daniel Krügler of the C++ standards committee agreed with the interpretation that unsigned int is a combination of simple type specifiers, and is not itself a simple type specifier.

Concerning the caption of table 7 referenced by Jerry Coffin, Krügler says:

I agree that the header of Table 7 (which is Table 9 in the most
recent draft N3000) is somewhat misleading, but the preceeding
text in [dcl.type.simple]/2 looks very clear to me, when it says:

Table 7 summarizes the valid combinations of simple-type-specifiers
and the types they specify.”

(I apologize it took me so long to post this back here from the newsgroup; it completely slipped my mind)
