(j3.2006) LinkedIn Question re Why TYPEALIAS Not in Fortran 2003

[Craig Dedo]

Everyone:

            Today in the LinkedIn Fortran Programmers Group, Espen Myklebust posted this
question.

[Begin post]

I came by a pdf with the committee draft of the F03 standard, and in there I see a
TYPEALIAS statement that must have been dropped quite late in the process.

Does anyone with (inside) knowledge about that process care to comment on why it didn't
make it into the final F03 standard?

[End of post]

 

            I have forgotten why TYPEALIAS was dropped late in the process.  Does anyone
remember why this happened?

 

Sincerely,

Craig T. Dedo
