Analysis and refutation of the LCAS
W. Kahan · ACM SIGPLAN Notices · 1992
A Language Compatible Arithmetic Standard (LCAS) has been proposed as International Standard ISO/IEC 10967:1991 for Language Compatible Arithmetic , Project JTC. 22.28, Version 3.1 (1 March 1991), by Drs. Mary Payne and Brian Wichmann. An earlier version appeared in both ACM SIGNUM and ACM SIGPLAN 25 1 (Jan. 1990). The following remonstrance has been sent to ANSI X3-T2, the American committee in charge of the proposal:This proposed Language Compatible Arithmetic Standard is so severely flawed that the computing world must reject it.
