Technically, the standard says an operand need not be evaluate, but you've asked people not to cite the Standard. I've also pointed you to F2018 Note 10.28 where it very clearly says that a function need not be evaluated with example nearly identical to the one in the PR. PURE vs IMPURE (or unmarked) function is a red herring. The standard makes no distinction. -- Steve
