Hey
What do “should have to” and “should need” mean in english?
What’s the meaning of “the last leg of race” in english"?
.
I’ll need your context sentences for your first question, but the ‘last leg of a race’ is the last section of it.
.
Mr M is correct, we should need context before we answer.
Here are the context sentences for “should have to” and “should need”:
No One “Should Have to” Stand in Line for 10 Hours to Vote
Type traits should need consider extended integral types.
.
No one should have to stand in line = It is not right/proper that people (must / be required to / find it necessary to) stand in line
Type traits should need consider extended integral types. – This sentence seems incorrectly composed to me; it would read better as:
Type traits (should be / need to be) considered extended integral types
.
The situation forces/obliges (have to) people to stand in line for 10 hours. That should not happen. It’s unfair. The shouldn’t have to/be obliged do that.
Type traits will/may probably need to consider integral types
.
Yes, Molly’s rephrasings are also good options.
.
Is it the “should need (modal) + verb” you find incorrect?
How about this one?
“She knew that as a Deacon she was still an uncommon enough phenomenon in the Church to evoke curiosity. She had, therefore, dressed to escape notice in a dark linen suit and silk shirt, she had judged it, however, to be an occasion for a clerical collar, lest the Bishop should need reminding.”
Unholy ghosts. Greenwood, D M. London: Headline Book Pub. plc, 1991
.
I found that incorrect and offered alternative readings.

Here’s (I think) the original:
(STDCXX-981) type traits should need consider extended integral types

The permissibilty of adjacent modals seem OK to me, as “need” is considered semi-modal.
