[J3] amendments to 21-117r2

[Bleikamp, Richard]

[AMD Official Use Only - Internal Distribution Only]

Hi all,
The following amendments to paper 21-117r2 will be moved before voting on 21-117r2.

Thanks to Malcolm, Anton, John R and Steve L for their suggestions.

Replaced (see [27:28+])
      This document permits the SYSTEM_CLOCK intrinsic subroutine
      to use two or more system clocks, with different
      characteristics, based on the kind type parameters of the
      integer arguments passed to SYSTEM_CLOCK.  A program that invokes
     SYSTEM_CLOCK solely with integer arguments with the same kind type
     parameter in all invocations will have the same interpretation
      under this document as in Fortran 2018.  All other programs that
      invoke SYSTEM_CLOCK may have a different interpretation under this
      document."

      This document permits the SYSTEM_CLOCK intrinsic subroutine
      to use two or more system clocks, with different
      characteristics, based on the kind type parameters of the
      integer arguments passed to SYSTEM_CLOCK.  A program that invokes
     SYSTEM_CLOCK solely with integer arguments, always with the same
     kind type parameter that has a decimal exponent range at least as
     large as a default integer, will have the same interpretation
     under this document as in Fortran 2018.  All other programs that
     invoke SYSTEM_CLOCK may have a different interpretation under this
     document."


Added the following sentence to the edit for [437:16] at the end of the 3rd paragraph
  The documentation of the Fortran processor should describe
   the relationship between the kind type parameter of integer
   arguments to SYSTEM_CLOCK and clock selection.

Replaced (see [437:21+])
  Using SYSTEM_CLOCK in this manner may minimize how often the
  returned COUNT "rolls over" and the processor will typically select
  the most accurate clock available.
with
  Using SYSTEM_CLOCK in this manner lets the processor select the
  most accurate clock available and minimize how often the COUNT
  value resets to zero.

And fixed a spelling error "dependendcies" -> "dependencies"

I hope that everyone is comfortable with these relatively minor changes, but I will delay the vote on 21-117r2 as amended until Tuesday if anyone objects to voting tonight.
Rich
