How to submit an editorial issue

If you think you've found an editorial problem in the current C++ standard, or the current working draft, please report it. This page provides brief instructions to help streamline these reports.

Is my issue editorial?

Submitting your issue

Ideally, submit a git pull request with your fix. Alternatively, create an issue in the issue tracker. It makes things much easier if you can provide a git patch directly, but a clear description of the issue is fine.

If you do not provide a git patch, please describe your issue clearly, including:

• Indicate the location of the issue clearly:
  • the exact version of the document you are referring to (e.g. N-number or specific version of the standard)
  • the section(s) where the issue appears - use non-numeric section names, e.g. [intro.scope]
  • the paragraph(s) where the issue appears
• Clearly state what type of issue this is (e.g. a typo, or an inconsistency), and briefly describe the problem.

If you are reporting an inconsistency between a standards draft and a paper that you feel was incorrectly applied, please provide a link to the paper and describe the section of the paper you are referring to.

Thanks for your contributions! The C++ standard is a very large document read by many people, and the committee very much appreciates individual error reports.
