To: J3 Members J3/16-192r1 From: Van Snyder & Stan Whitlock Subject: Comments on Clause 1, except subclause 1.3 References: 16-007r1 Date: 2016 June 06 1. Edits ======== [23:3 1.4.1p1 fourth bullet, 23:12 1.4.2p1] Hyphenation (or lack thereof) is inconsistent. [23:3] needs three digits. Either replace "two-digit" with "two- or three-digit" at [23:3] and replace "two or three digit" with "two- or three-digit" at [23:12], or replace "two-digit" with "two or three digit" at [23:3]. JOR suggests the use of hyphens => here are the edits: [23:3 ] "nn is a two-digit" -> "nn is a two- or three-digit" [23:11] "s is a one or two digit" -> "s is a one- or two-digit" [23:12] "nn is a two or three digit" -> "nn is a two- or three-digit" [25:1-2 1.5p2(3)] Replace "an additional" with "a" because a processor should be required to detect any form or relationship, not just an additional one, whatever that means. [26:7 1.6.3p1] Insert "extension" after "compatible". [26:13 1.6.3p2] "must" shall be "shall". 16-192 wanted [27:16 1.6.5p3 third bullet]: Replace "negative zero imaginary part" with "AIMAG(X) is negative zero" to avoid mixed metaphors. JOR prefers the use of "negative real zero" like in [27:15]. JOR suggests: [26:16] "negative zero imaginary part" -> "AIMAG(X) is negative real zero" [28:17-18 1.6.7p1 fourth bullet]: Replace "Therefore, some ... Fortran 2003 processors ... edit descriptors" with "Therefore, the form produced for certain combinations of values and G edit descriptors might be different from the output form produced by some {\sc Fortran} 77 processors". Compare to [27:19-20 1.6.6p5 fifth bullet]. 2. Edits not to be made ======================= [22:40 1.4.1p1 first bullet] Insert "and that are not italicized" after "(3.1)". JOR sees no misunderstanding. [22:42] 2nd bullet starts the exceptions referred to in [22-40] first bullet. [24:17-18 1.4.4p2] Delete "Expression ... (R722)." because it appears not to have anything to do with the subject of the subclause. JOR wants to keep [24:17-18] because they describe the syntax terms and .
