To: J3 11-xxx From: John Reid Subject: Edits to 12-119 Date: 2012 February 06 References: 12-119 Page 10, NOTE 5.3. Change "the corresponding formal parameter is the address of a descriptor of type CFI_cdesc_t (8.7). The rank member of the descriptor provides the rank of the actual argument." to "the corresponding formal parameter is the address of a descriptor of type CFI_cdesc_t (8.7) for the effective argument. The rank member of the descriptor provides the rank." Reason: The C descriptor describes the effective argument, rather than the actual argument, see top of page 31. Let's also take the opportunity to say here that it describes the effective argument. Page 31 is a bit late, though it is mentioned for assumed-type and assumed-rank on page 9. Page 20, second sentence. Change "CFI_attribute_other specifies an assumed-shape array, a nonallocatable nonpointer scalar, an assumed-size array, or an array that is argument associated with an assumed-size array." to "CFI_attribute_other specifies a nonallocatable nonpointer object that is a scalar, an array of known shape, or an assumed-size array." Reason: The present sentence is not correct, since the descriptor is for the effective argument. See also 8.2. Page 31, penultimate para, line 2, Change "actual" to "effective". Reason: The C descriptor describes the effective argument, rather than the actual argument.
