the progress of work on the new version of the procedural programming language Fortran Intel’s Steve Lionel informed in a blog post [1] . The end of June met the international standards committee (ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC22/WG5, short WG5) in Delft, to discuss details of Fortran 2015. Updating the language to be published in October 2016 (the name of the version refers generally to the year of the technical completion, not on the show), since a meeting of the working group in the last year, the set goals, the interoperability improve between Fortran and C to complete the system for parallel processing of tasks and remove overlaps and discrepancies between existing features.
Lionel explains the relatively few innovations bring the standard is the fact that you’ve watched that standardization for providers and users to quickly and they would therefore something had to slow down. For this reason, the committee reduced the list of proposed functions for parallel programming significantly. Their discussion provided the focus of the meeting in the Netherlands dar. Among the smaller changes that Lionel mentioned, including one allowing the G0.d format for all data types, for example, while an additional syntax feature was rejected.
Since the work on the parallelization capabilities are not as far as the WG5 had hoped last year, we also talked about changes in the schedule. The group agreed to continue to want to try to follow him. However, it keeps open the option to postpone the release to the rear, the completion of the technical specification should be further delay. <- AUTHOR MARKER DATA BEGIN -> <-!
