Progress on development
of Fortran 2000 with emphasis on
interoperating with C
John Reid, WG5 convenor
We are entering a critical stage for Fortran 2000. If
all goes to plan, the WG5 meeting this summer will finalize a draft that
will go out for public comment in the autumn. John will summarize
progress towards this goal.
He has been working personally on the features for
interoperating with C because of the importance he attaches to ensuring
that dynamic arrays that are allocated in either language can be used in
the other. He will therefore describe what is now proposed.

Fortran 95 for the .NET Framework
David Bailey, Salford Software
Salford Software's FTN95 Ver 3.0 will be capable of generating
Microsoft .NET code as well as the traditional WIN32 output. This
talk will explain how we have exploited the .NET environment to enable
Fortran to interact freely with C# and other .NET languages. The
talk will describe in detail how we have kept Fortran efficient in the
Just In Time (JIT) compilation environment of .NET. It will also
explain some of the techniques required to support some of the older
Fortran features such as EQUIVALENCE and ENTRY, which do not fit
naturally into the .NET environment.
The talk will then go on to describe the various extensions
that enable the Fortran programmer to interact with other .NET software
and make use of powerful .NET constructs such as objects, exception
handling, etc.
No prior exposure to the .NET architecture will be presumed.
