J3/06-351r1 Date: November 13, 2006 To: J3 From: Dick Hendrickson / Aleksandar Donev Subject: Notes on Clause 13 References: 06-263r1, 06-007r1 I split the comments into several categories: 1) Simple editorial corrections 2) Requests to clarify or change wording 3) Technical issues _________________________________ Editorial corrections _________________________________ [379:8-10] We should typeset "array-element" in Fortran variable code. [380:10-17] This text should be moved to the right. [411:21-29] This text should be moved to the right. [388:24+] Note 13.12 replace "THIS_IMAGE" with "IMAGE_INDEX" [430:26+] Note 13.23 replace "IMAGE_INDEX" with "THIS_IMAGE" _________________________________ Changes of wording _________________________________ [435:20+] We should give an example of using this function, maybe to initialize a static variable: Edit. Replace the example with CHARACTER(LEN=*), PARAMETER :: OPTIONS=COMPILER_OPTIONS() might assign the value '/OPTIMIZE /FLOAT=IEEE' to OPTIONS [435:28+] We should give an example of using this function, maybe to initialize a static variable: Edit. Replace the example with CHARACTER(LEN=*), PARAMETER :: VERSION=COMPILER_VERSION () might assign the value 'Fast KL-10 Compiler Version 7' to VERSION [436:0+] What exactly is the point of the last sentence in Note 13.25? I thought we should be encouraging the user to save the options to a variable so as to make sure the compiler puts that in the object code. Or are we encouraging compilers to always include this info in the object files? Edit. None required, the existing wording is helpful. _________________________________ Technical questions _________________________________ Submitted as separate papers.
