@ page 454 line 17598 section find comment [gwc find -exec +]
Problem:
Defect code : 3. Clarification required
The description of the -exec primary says:
"Only a plus sign that follows an argument containing the two
characters "{}" shall punctuate the end of the primary expression."
The word "follows" is clearly intended to be understood in the
sense "immediately follows", as can be seen from the specified form
of the primary:
-exec utility_name [argument ...] ;
-exec utility_name [argument ...] {} +
However, it is also possible to interpret "B follows A" as meaning
that B comes somewhere after A, possibly with other things in between.
To ensure the standard cannot be misinterpreted, the word
"immediately" should be inserted.
Action:
Change "follows" to "immediately follows".
