8 INDEX


[This Index is not part of the Standard.]

8.1

This Index indicates the page of definition of every class and feature appearing in the Required Flatshort Forms of section 5

8.2

Following the standard Eiffel conventions, feature names appear in lower-case italics and class names, when making up index entries, in UPPER-CASE ITALICS. Operator functions appear under prefix and infix; for example division appears under infix "/". This also applies to boolean operators, which appear under infix "and", infix "and then" and so on.

8.3

In a class entry, the class appears in UPPER-CASE ITALICS. Each reference to a feature name is followed by the name of the class or classes in which it is available, each with the corresponding page. To avoid any confusion with occurrences of the class name in its other role -- as an index entry pointing to the beginning of the class specification -- the class name in this case appears in UPPER-CASE ROMAN.
