ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 N2058

To:      SW22/WG9
From:    Van Snyder, ANSI/INCITS PL22.3 Fortran Committee Liaison
Subject: Fortran Liaison Report
Date:    15 June 2015

During the past year, the US ANSI Fortran committee, INCITS/PL22.3, has
had two meetings, in Las Vegas, 13-17 October 2014 and 22-27 February
2015.

The next joint meeting of the US ANSI committee and the ISO/IEC
committee, JTC1/SC22/WG5, will be hosted by BSI in London, 3-7 August
2015.

The two major work items of the London meeting are to finalize the work
plan for the current revision of the Fortran standard, ISO/IEC 1539-1,
and approve publication of ISO/IEC TS 18508 "Additional Parallel
Features in Fortran," WG5/N2056  This TS enlarges upon the coarray
facility of SPMD parallel programming provided by the 2008 standard. 
The agenda of the meeting is WG5/N2052.

ISO/IEC 29113 "Further Interoperability of Fortran with C" has been
incorporated into the current draft of the next revision of the
standard, http://j3-fortran.org/doc/meeting/207/15-007r1.pdf.

The US ANSI Fortran committee continues to accept formal requests for
interpretations.  Those that are errata (as opposed to clarifications)
are usually assembled into corrigenda.  ISO has published three
corrigenda concerning Fortran 2008.  These have been combined into a WG5
document WG5/N2005; the interpretations that led to these corrigenda are
combined in WG5/N2006.

One batch of interpretations has been completed since Corrigendum 3 has
been published, WG5/N2042.  It has not been decided whether a further
Corrigendum concerning Fortran 2008 will be published, or the results
simply incorporated into the next revision.
