(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.4765) J3/12-nnn J3 interpretations letter ballot #26 after meeting 198 - due 12-Oct-2012

[Whitlock, Stan]

To J3 members,

Attached is a J3 letter ballot on 10 F2008 interps that were ready after meeting 198 in June.  I apologize for the lateness of the ballot but there were 2 WG5 interp ballots and problems with the J3 web site - plus I'm very behind on a great deal of work.

Please send you ballots to j3 at j3-fortran.org<mailto:j3 at j3-fortran.org> by 11:59:59PM, PDT, Friday, 12-Oct-2012.

WG5 members - your comments are welcome too.

Dan - The J3 web site was down just now so could you please put this paper in the m199 area and get it a paper number?

Thanks                                                                             /Stan


To:        J3 Members
From:      Stan Whitlock
Subject:   J3 Fortran interp letter ballot #26 - due 12-Oct-2012
Date: 12-Sep-2012


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.

10 Fortran interpretations are currently "Passed by J3 meeting" after
J3 meeting #198.  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

---  ---  F08/0040   MOVE_ALLOC for coarrays
---  ---  F08/0074   Implicit type in BLOCK construct
---  ---  F08/0075   Pointer function reference as variable in assignment
---  ---  F08/0076   Pointer function reference in READ
---  ---  F08/0077   Function references as variables in DATA statements
---  ---  F08/0078   Are the IEEE values +0 and -0 distinguished
---  ---  F08/0079   NAMELIST and type specification
---  ---  F08/0080   Array constructors with polymorphic values
---  ---  F08/0081   Deallocation error handling
---  ---  F08/0082   Generic identifier and dtv arguments

The text of these interpretations is attached.  Each interpretation
starts with a row of "-"s.

Please mark the above -Y- in the Yes column for "yes", -C- in the Yes
column for "yes with comment", or -N- in the No column for a "no"
answer {be sure to include your reasons with "no"} and send only the
above text {not this entire mail message} with any comments to

        j3 at j3-fortran.org

by 11:59:59PM, PDT, Friday, 12-Oct-2012, in order to be counted.


Thanks                         /Stan
