(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.3557) Letter ballot 5 on F2003 interpretations

[Jim Xia]

The following Fortran 2003 interpretations are being balloted:

Yes   No   Number     Title
-Y-   ---  F03/0003 Referencing deferred bindings 
-Y-   ---  F03/0004 Type-bound procedures and undefined association status
-Y-   ---  F03/0079 Value of decimal exponent for a real zero value
-Y-   ---  F03/0080 Formatted output of a negative real zero value
-N-   ---  F03/0100 Error in field width for special cases of signed 
                    INFINITY output
-Y-   ---  F03/0104 Deallocation and finalization of bounds-remapped
                    pointers
-Y-   ---  F03/0106 Inquire by unit inconsistencies
-Y-   ---  F03/0107 Are the IEEE_* elemental routines required
-Y-   ---  F03/0108 Is IEEE_SUPPORT_NAN consistent with the other
                    IEEE_SUPPORT functions



NO vote on F03/0100
The second edit says that if <w> is zero, then the output field for NaN
values is 'NaN'.  This seems to be too restrictive.  Processors should be
given options for additional information in the output, e.g. a processor 
can
provide additional information to specify whether a NaN is quiet NaN or
signaling NaN.



Cheers,

Jim Xia
