(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.3984) Draft WG5 minutes

[Bill Long]

In this section:


6. Consider the latest draft of Fortran 2008 and decide on minor changes.
Three PL22.3 papers had been referred to WG5 for consideration.  The
outcome of discussion was as follows.
- Paper 09-184 "Atomic compare-and-swap": Referred to the
  Interoperability TR development body.


It was my understanding that the atomic compare-and-swap proposal was 
referred to the Enhanced Coarray TR (the one to develop teams and the 
other coarray features removed earlier). Since this TR does not 
officially exist yet, maybe you could say the proposal was "deferred for 
consideration in a future standard".  The atomic subroutines are not 
related to Interoperability with C and would be out of place in that TR.

In this section:

12. Adoption of Resolutions (N1778)
Resolutions LV1, LV2, LV7 and LV8 were approved by unanimous acclaim
and LV3 and LV6 by unanimous consent.  Resolution LV4 (Technical
Content of Fortran 2008 FCD) was approved by 9 individual votes to 0
with 4 abstentions and by five member body votes to none.  Resolution
LV5 (Strategic Plans for WG5) was approved by 11 individual votes to 0
with 2 abstentions and by five member body votes to none.  Following
email discussions with Masayuki Takata throughout the meeting, Japan's
proxy vote was cast in favour of all the resolutions.


My notes, which could be wrong,  show that the country vote for LV4 was 
4 approved and 1 abstain (Canada).  Jim should verify which is correct.


A careful observer would note 14 people listed at the beginning of the 
minutes, and the sum of the individual votes above as 13.  This is 
because Aleks was not present Friday morning.  I don't know if it is 
worth adding "and 1 not voting" to make the totals come out right.  This 
is a very minor point, so feel free to ignore it.


Cheers,
Bill
