New Work Item on Additional Parallel Features in Fortran

SC22 has approved the proposal for a new work item for a Technical Specification (TS) on Additional Parallel Features in Fortran. Details of the country voting are in N1951. The requirements for this TS are given in N1930 and the plan is for the first draft to be constructed at the next meeting of J3 and for publication in the summer of 2014.

Result of SC22 ballot on DTS 29113, Further Interoperability of Fortran with C

DTS 29113 has passed its ballot with flying colours: 10/1/18 (Approval as presented/Approval with comments/Abstentions), see N1937. There were two comments from Germany (see N1938.pdf), which will be considered by WG5 and may lead to slight revisions for the final version.

Meeting of WG5 and PL22.3 (J3)

WG5 and PL22.3 (J3) met in Markham, Ontario, Canada, 25-29 June 2012.

WG5 decided on the requirements for its proposed TS on further coarray features. They include a TEAM facility that will allow a subprogram developed without any TEAM syntax to be executed unchanged by a team, an EVENT facility, a simple set of collective subroutines, and futher intrinsic procedures for atomic memory operations. The parallel I/O facilities that were once part of the draft Fortran 2008 are not included. The overall size is comparable with that of the features that were removed from the draft Fortran 2008 in February 2008. For details, see N1930. The aim is to complete the TS by July 2014.

WG5 also decided that the next revision of the Fortran standard will consist of the incorporation of corrigenda, editorial improvements, and the two Technical Specifications, plus the removal of simple deficiencies in, and discrepancies between, existing facilities. The plan is to start work on this in 2014 and complete it by the end of 2016.

PL22.3 was active in processing interpretations and a new WG5 ballot is expected soon.

TS on further interoperability with C

After the WG5 ballot on the draft in N1904, a new version, N1911, was constructed and subjected to a further ballot. This passed subject to the interoperability email group considering the comments and making those changes that it considered appropriate. The result, N1917 has been forwarded to SC22 as the DTR draft. Also forwarded was the response to the PDTR ballot, N1886. Details of the changes made since N1904 are contained in N1912 and N1918.

Corrigendum 1 for Fortran 2008

Two letter ballots on interpretations, N1876 and N1877, were held in 2011; their results are in N1878 and N1889. A draft Corrigendum 1, N1893, was constructed by David Muxworthy and subjected to a letter ballot, whose result is in N1896. The comments were discussed by email by Malcolm Cohen, Robert Corbett, David Muxworthy, and Bill Long. The revised version, N1901, shows what changes were made. There having been no objections, the final draft corrigendum, N1903, was constructed by David Muxworthy and checked by John Reid and Stan Whitlock. David also constructed a version, N1902, showing references to page and line numbers in J3 document 10-007r1 and references to interpretations. N1903 and the defect report N1907 were sent to SC22 on 12 February. The SC22 ballot ends on 14 May 2012.

TS on further interoperability with C

A one-month WG5 ballot was held to see if the first draft DTS N1885 and the draft response document to the SC22 ballot N1886, were ready for forwarding. The result is in N1895. Comments there, in N1892 from ISO, and from the interop-tr and J3 email lists were considered by the interop-tr email group and by J3 during its recent meeting. N1904 was constructed by the editor Bill Long to accord with the conclusions of these discussions and has been approved by J3. All the comments and the responses to them are detailed in N1905. N1904 is the subject of a one-month WG5 ballot, see N1908 that ends on 19 March 2012.
