[MPI3 Fortran] Fortran Tickets updated and pdf available

[Rolf Rabenseifner]

Dear all,

The main Fortran ticket 
https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/229
and all its children is updated.
Its state is "Forum feedback requested" and should be ready for
first reading at next meeting.

I hope we can find some time at the meeting in Chicago,
without taking it from more important topics like RMA.
At least on Monday evening we try to make a telefon con together
with Craig Rasmussen.

A printable page including all Fortran tickets is
https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/251

I've done all in pdf and the best readable is the changeonly version.
All pages that are touched by the Fortran tickets can be found at

https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/attachment/ticket/229/mpi-report-F2008-2011-03-26-changeonly-selected.pdf

A reviewdoc version (including also ticket numbers and all deleted text) at:

https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/attachment/ticket/229/mpi-report-F2008-2011-03-26-reviewdoc-selected.pdf

Remaining problems:
 - MPI_ALLOC_MEM and MPI_FREE_MEM must be revisited
 - All definitions of callback routines must be revisited
 - Using BIND(C) inside of the MPI implementation
   is missing one feature in the Fortran standard:
   INTEGER (and othe Fortran types) seems still not to be C-interoperable.

All the rest seems to work with Fortran 2008 Standard together with the extensions
in the "TR on further interoperability with C" (N1845), see

ftp://ftp.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/N1801-N1850/N1845.pdf 
from
http://www.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/

Thank you very much to the Fortran Standardization Committee for
their very helpful effort in this TR.

Best regards
Rolf
