J3 01-183r1 To: J3 From: /interop Date: 22 March 2001 Subject: Unresolved issues 217, 245 Issue 245 (page 361) This issue notes that we need to indicate that an entity of type C_PTR becomes undefined when an object which it is associated with reaches the end of its lifetime. Edit: [361:35-39] replace J3 internal note with 17) When execution of an END or RETURN statement causes a variable to become undefined, all variables of type C_PTR associated with that variable become undefined. 18) When a variable with the TARGET attribute is deallocated, all variables of type C_PTR associated with that variable become undefined. Issue 217 (page 387): The issue questions the usefulness of multiple negative values for the C kind type parameters for floating point data types defined in the ISO_C_BINDING module. Negative values indicate that no corresponding Fortran kind type exists for the C type. Original spec and syntax provided only for a single negative value (-1) in the case where there was not Fortran kind which was equivalent to the C type. The additional values were added at the suggestion of full committee we make no change at this time and delete the unresolved issue. Edit: [387:38-44] delete
