6.6
constant-expression
conditional-expression
6.6p6
An integer constant expression shall have integer type and
shall only have operands that are integer constants, [...]
I take it that the term 'operands' in this sentence refers to the
operands that appear in the full derivation of the constant-expression,
that is, in the derivation
constant-expression
==>
conditional-expression
==>
...
==>
additive-expression
==>
multiplicative-expression - multiplicative-expression
==>
...
==>
postfix-expression - postfix-expression * postfix-expression
==>
...
==>
6 - 2 * 3
the term 'operands' in 6.6p6 refers to '6', '2' and '3'.
