Welcome to the official home of Fortran Standards
Corrigendum 4 has been completed and sent to SC22. It consists of the edits to the
Standard in
N2103.
The collection of interpretations that led to it is in
N2098.

The TS on additional coarray features was published on Nov. 19 as
ISO/IEC TS 18508:2015 Information technology - Additional Parallel Features in Fortran.
J3 has completed its ballot on the five interpretations that were agreed at its
October meeting and the WG5 straw ballot
N2085
on these has commenced. Because these five interpretations do not seem to be controversial,
David Muxworthy has prepared a draft of Corrigendum 4
N2088
on the assumption that all their edits will be accepted and a straw vote
N2089
on it has commenced. It is hoped that Corrigendum 4 will be send to SC22 before the end of 2015.

WG5 has agreed that the revision of the draft TS on "Additional Parallel
Features in Fortran",
N2074,
made after the London meeting is ready for publication. It was sent to SC22 today.
WG5 has approved, see
N2080,
all the interpretations in
N2062
some with minor changes. Corrigendum 4 will be constructed soon. It will include
these edits and those approved in
N2047.

Minutes of the London 2015 meeting (Muxworthy)
The draft TS on "Additional Parallel Features in Fortran" passed its ballot, see
N2065,
without any NO votes, but with 3 countries (Germany, Japan, and UK) voting YES with
comments. All the comments were considered at the meeting of WG5 in London,
August 3-7, 2015 and the responses have been agreed, see
N2066.
A modified TS that accords with these responses has been constructed by the editor, see
N2074.
Details of the changes made are in the editor's report,
N2075.
It is being checked in a WG5 straw vote,
N2079,
that terminates on 12 September. It is hoped that it will be sent to ISO for publication
soon after this.
WG5 met at the BCS London meeting rooms, 3-7 August. As well as responding to the
comments on the draft TS (see previous item), WG5 finalized the choice of features
for the next revision of the standard, see
N2073.
The additional features are all very small, in accord with the policy of adding
only features that address deficiencies and discrepancies in Fortran 2008. For the
complete set of additions, see
N2078.
Since the technical content is now fixed, it was decided that the language
should be known informally as Fortran 2015.
It was decided that a fourth Corrigendum to Fortran should be completed as soon as possible after the current WG5 straw ballot on interpretations, see N2061, finishes on 24 August. A fifth Corrigendum will be prepared early in 2016.
Editorial work has started on the Fortran 2015 standard, but there is much left
to do, and it is not expected that a draft will be ready to submit to SC22 for
country voting until March 2017. After this, a number of formal stages have to be
passed, which should lead to publication in July 2018. For more details of the
schedule, see
N2070.

Fortran Liaison Report to Ada Committee WG9 (Snyder)
Significant changes were made to the draft TS on "Additional Parallel Features in Fortran"
at the J3 meeting in February. The whole concept of stalling was removed. Instead, the
possibility of including a STAT= variable in an image selector was added to make it
possible for the programmer to detect a reference to a failed image and take appropriate
remedial action. Similarly, the option of including a sync-stat-list to a
CRITICAL statement to allow the detection of the failure of the previous image to
execute the construct. The subsequent straw WG ballot passed, subject to
changes that did not alter the syntax, and with these changes the new draft,
N2056,
commenced its DTS ballot on 26 May, see ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22 N5029. The ballot closes on 27 July.
NAG has asked WG5 to change the way its documents are accessed, so that each is individally
linked. Now when you click above on "WG5 Electronic Document Archive" you will get to a list
of all documents with links to those available electronically. They are in reverse order so
that the most recent appear first.

Standard (varying length strings), ISO/IEC 1539-2 : 2000(E)
Technical Specification on Further Interoperability of Fortran with C,
ISO/IEC TS 29113.
Technical Specification on Additional Parallel Features in Fortran,
ISO/IEC TS 18508. Sent for publication.
| 2016 (Joint meeting with PL22.3) | June 6-10, | Boulder, Colorado, USA. |
| 2017 (Joint meeting with PL22.3) | June 26-30, | Munich, Germany. |
| 2018 (Joint meeting with PL22.3) | Summer, | Oakland, California, USA (tentative). |
