Attributes
Common attributes and common linking attributes.
Additional attributes:
- class (enumeration)
- “union”
- “intersection”
Description
In general usage, type identifies one member of
a class of values.
In documenting computer programs, it identifies specifically a
type,
as might be declared with
typedef in the C programming language.
Processing expectations
Formatted inline.
Attributes
Common attributes and common linking attributes.
- any attribute
Any attribute in any other explicit namespace
- class
Specifies the way how are nested types combined together
Enumerated values: “union” Combined type is union of nested types
“intersection” Combined type is intersection of nested types
