(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.5992) straw ballot

[Dan Nagle]

Hi,

YES
Do you approve making the technical change to add a requirement that the variable specified
for STAT= in MOVE_ALLOC and the ATOMIC_xxx intrinsics have a minimum decimal range
of 4? See J3 paper 17-219 for details.

YES
Do you approve disallowing a coarray or coindexed variable on the left side
of an intrinsic assignment statement if it is an unallocated allocatable variable? This is
an incompatibility with Fortran 2008 which did not disallow this. See J3 paper 17-228 for details.

YES
Do you approve making the technical change to disallow coarrays of TEAM_TYPE?
See J3 papers 17-202r1 and 17-250r2 for details.

YES
Do you approve, after making changes passed at J3 meeting 214, creating
a Draft International Standard (DIS) and sending it for ballot? This would meet
the current development schedule.

NO
Do you approve changing the informal name of the in-development Fortran standard
from "Fortran 2015" to "Fortran 2018"? See J3 paper 17-193r1 for details.

Comment
Fortran 2015 is today well known around the world to mean the next standard, so a name change
now creates a needless potential for confusion, and might be taken as signaling difficulties.
I endorse the comments of Reinhold Bader and John Reid on this question.
