--- Comment #2 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-07-18 20:16:08 UTC --- (In reply to comment #1) > See "F08/0040" at http://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/11/11-006A.txt > "STATUS: Passed by J3 letter ballot" My comment is odd. First, the number is wrong. It's F08/0048. Secondly, the proposal was rejected at the voting. It gets muddier if one looks at the details: Meeting 193 ( http://j3-fortran.org/doc/meeting/193/ ): - 10-229 has an edit which allows the program (cf. quote in comment 0) - 10-229r1 and 10-229r2 has an edit which makes the program invalid - The letter ballot (cf. 11-129 of meeting m194 and link of comment 1) rejected the 10-229r2 version - and suggested in comment the wording of 10-229. The IR has seemingly not been picked up again for later meetings. I have now asked at J3 for an update.
