To:        J3 Members
From:      Stan Whitlock
Subject:   J3 Fortran interp letter ballot #22 - due 19-Nov-2010
Date: 2010 October 14


Enclosed in the next letter ballot on Fortran interpretations.

The rules by which we operate say:

    o   J3 votes on the answer at a J3 meeting; a simple majority
        vote marks the answer as "passed by J3 meeting".

    o   Between J3 meetings the chair of /interp sends a J3 letter
        ballot to J3 to approve interp answers that have been "passed
        by J3 meeting".  The letter ballot runs for 30 days.  Not
        voting on three of four consecutive J3 letter ballots is
        grounds to terminate J3 membership.  An interp answer passes
        by a 2/3rds vote;  a no vote must be accompanied by an
        explanation of the changes necessary to change the member's
        vote to yes.

        J3/interp reserves the right to recall an interp answer for
        more study even if the answer passes.

22 Fortran interpretations are currently "Passed by J3 meeting" after
J3 meeting #193.  This is the letter ballot phase to go from "Passed
by J3 meeting" to "Passed by J3 letter ballot".

The following Fortran interpretations are being balloted:

Yes  No   Number     Title

-Y-  ---  F03/0030   IEEE divide by zero
-Y-  ---  F03/0048   Control edit descriptors in UDDTIO

                      INFINITY output

-Y-  ---  F08/0047   public generic with same name as private type
---  -N-  F08/0048   Sequence association for coarrays
-Y-  ---  F08-0049   ELEMENTAL functions with nonconstant type parameters

Comments on F08/0041
  The first example should be fixed to have t2 contains a pointer 
component of type
  t1.  The second example is perfectly legal.  Seems we need to rework on 
this interp.

Comments on F08/0045
        The edits makes it illegal to specify LOCK_TYPE as <type-spec> if 
the coarray itself
        is of LOCK_TYPE.
        For example, type(lock_type), allocatable :: locks[*]
        the edits make the following allocate statement illegal
        ALLOCATE (LOCK_TYPE: locks[*])

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments on F08/0048
  I believe this restriction might be a bit surprising to users who 
regularly
  use sequence associations.  Also there isn't an apparent technical 
difficulties
  in support this.
