Title:can not versus cannot
Reference Documents:N3301
Summary
"can not" should be "cannot" in 5.2.2.4p13 (Example 4).
Background
In C99, C11, C17 and the DIS version of C23, 5.2.2.4p13 (Example 4) had:
... Values are independent of whether they are represented in a register or in memory. For example, an implicit spilling of a registeris not permitted toalter the value. ...
Sometime before C2Y N3301, "is not permitted to" was changed to "can not":
... Values are independent of whether they are represented in a register or in memory. For example, an implicit spilling of a register can not alter the value. ...
However, the "can not" in that is wrong. It should
be "cannot".
Or, perhaps: "is not allowed to", or back to "is not permitted to".
