(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.5285) List of deficiencies and discrepancies

[John Reid]

WG5,

One of our objectives next week is

C. Construct the list of deficiencies and discrepancies in Fortran 2008
    that will be addressed in the next revision of the Fortran standard.

which is consistent with our plan in N1979:

    Agree final list deficiencies and
       discrepancies to be addressed                  2014-06    J3/WG5

I propose that we have some very short presentations (1-minute?) on each 
of the proposals and then take some straw votes, to give us fodder for 
discussions during the day and at FIDS. This, I believe is the complete 
set of candidates (18 in all):

DIN-A N2015 Add SELECT RANK construct

DIN-B N2015 Extend SELECT TYPE to multiple types

DIN-C N2015 Placement allocation

DIN-D N2015 Commit to a TS on parametrization by type

UK-11 J3/14-190 Allow assumed coshape dummy coarrays

UK-12 J3/14-174 Allow a file to be connected to more than one unit
                 at one time

UK-13 J3/14-175 Standardize error conditions in numeric formatted
                 input

UK-14 J3/14-176 Minor FORMAT extension for minimal exponent width

UK-15 J3/14-177 Allow a GENERIC statement as alternative to interface
                 block

UK-16 J3/14-178 Remove anomaly of INTENT(IN) and VALUE for generic
                 interfaces

UK-17 J3/14-179 Make RECURSIVE the default for procedures.

UK-18 J3/14-180 Improve consistency of intrinsic arguments

UK-19 J3/14-181 Add COSHAPE intrinsic

UK-20 J3/14-182 Allow IAND, IEOR, IOR to mhave any number of arguments

UK-21 J3/14-183 Check for whether values of one intrinsic type can be
                 converted to another without error

UK-22 J3/14-184 Require the processor to provide independent random-number
                 sequences on different images

US-1 J3/14-101r1 Add optional type-spec for the ac-do-variable in an array
                  constructor implied-DO

US-2 J3/14-128r1 Make WHERE constructs and WHERE statements obsolescent

There may be more from the US - I understand that they will have a TAG 
meeting over breakfast.

Have I missed any?

Best wishes,

John.
