J3/00-115 Date: 11 February 2000 To: J3 From: Malcolm Cohen Subject: Issues 222 and 224 1. Introduction In issue 222 Richard says that "The target of a pointer assignment is a data object or a procedure. It may be specified directly, by a pointer, or be the result of a function reference that returns a pointer." is confusing instead of helpful. I concur. There is no analogue of this paragraph in F95; it is merely explanatory material. Therefore we can delete it. Furthermore, the text it was attempting to explain is already reasonably short and lucid - at least it is not obviously obfuscatory - so I believe it should stand on its own with no further comment. In issue 224 Richard suggests that our new "type-compatibility" constraint makes a previous constraint redundant. I concur. 2.
