(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.5136) [ukfortran] Vote on revised draft DTS

[Malcolm Cohen]

>Is N1996 ready for forwarding to SC22 as the DTS?

3) No, for the following reasons.

a. The design is still under active technical development; in particular,
  - the team design has not reached consensus, with additional features and 
changes being requested,
  - the team design needs (at a minimum) much more explanation,
  - the event design has been recently changed, and it is far from clear that 
the new version is correctly described and sufficient for purpose.

b. Many technical and editorial problems and ambiguities as reported by others.

I continue to be of the opinion that an explicit formal memory model for atomics 
would be a very good idea, but would not vote No purely on that alone.

Cheers,
