Research direction

Start at [basic.start.term]/1 in the draft and compare its wording with the referenced [support.start.term] clause. Check the surrounding sentence for the scope of calls caused by std::exit; done when the terminology is grammatically meaningful and the wording clearly refers only to those calls.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

[basic.start.term]/1 says

Constructed complete objects ([dcl.init]) with static storage duration are destroyed and functions registered with std​::​atexit are called as part of a call to std​::​exit ([support.start.term]). The call to std​::​exit is sequenced before the destructions and the registered functions.

Clearly "sequenced before registered functions" makes no sense. It shall be "sequenced before calls".

Also be careful to say calls caused by std::exit rather than arbitrary calls.
