Hi all,
Fortran 2008 comment period is now officialy open. While watching the
French Open, I've written a comment that suggests adding a CHARACTER
intrinsic to handle conversions between character kinds which,
according to the current standard draft, only every happens on
assignment (and on internal writes).
The draft I've written is available as RTF and PDF:
http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uccafco/tmp/F2008%20CHARACTER.rtf
http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uccafco/tmp/F2008%20CHARACTER.pdf
I welcome comments and ideas, especially a few more "striking"
examples where this intrinsic would be useful...
Cheers,
FX
PS: I intend, before sending it, to ask for comments on c.l.f
(especially about writing style, as it's my first such comment)
