Resolution U Request for simultaneous meeting between SC22
and SC21/WG6/RPC Rapporteur Group
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22
- notes it was the understanding of WG11 in Arles, during
its combined meeting with the SC21/WG6/RPC group, that
that group agreed with WG11 that a further simultaneous
meeting of the two groups in February 1992 was desirable.
However, the RPC group was bound by SC21 procedures,
limiting the number and timing of such interim meetings,
which prevented such a meeting;
- notes that WG11 feels that such a joint technical session
is necessary for the timely production of aligned
International Standards for CLID, CLIPCM and RPC; and
therefore
- requests its chairman to make his best efforts to arrange
with SC21 that the SC21/WG6/RPC Rapporteur Group is
permitted to meet simultaneously with SC22/WG11 in
February 1992, tentatively in the USA.

Resolution AL WG14 (C) and WG21 (C++) Coordination
While recognizing the need to preserve the respective and
different goals of C and C++, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 directs WG14
and WG21 to ensure, in current and future development of their
respective languages, that differences between C and C++ are
kept to the minimum. The word "differences" is taken to refer
to strictly conforming programs of C which either are invalid
programs in C++ or have different semantics in C++.
Resolution AM Establishment of Interpretations Ad Hoc Group
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 establishes an Interpretations Ad Hoc Group,
under the leadership of Mr. John Hill, to:
- develop a proposed set of guidelines on how
interpretations for SC22 Standards might be handled and
made available;
- keep all SC22 working group convenors aware of the
proposal being developed in this area;

proceed with interpretations of SC22 standards, ISO/IEC
JTC1/SC22 instructs its working groups to develop interim
methods to address requests in this area, and to provide
feedback to the SC22 Interpretations Ad Hoc Group as
appropriate.
Resolution AO WG16 Progress of Work
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22, noting the slow progress in the development
of the Lisp standard, instructs WG16 to
- select a base document by the conclusion of their January
1992 meeting; and
- at or before the next SC22 plenary meeting, comply with
clause 2.1.3.10 of the JTC1 Directives by progressing
their work beyond stage 2, unless a national body
initiates action to meet the alternative requirements,
extending the project for not more than 1 year.
Resolution AP Ada Extensions and User Runtime Executive
Interface
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22
- notes the approval of the NP on Ada extensions and User
Runtime Executive Interface and assigns this work item
(JTC1.22.35) to WG9 for development
- recognizing the possibility of overlap between this
project and projects related to Ada assigned to WG15,
requests the WG9 convenor to work with the WG15 convenor
and appropriate projects within WG15 to ensure that
conflicts are avoided.
Resolution AQ E-mail
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22

where meeting fees would be desirable;
- believes that a study of this subject by JTC1 would be
desirable, in order to examine all aspects of the problem
and develop clear guidance regarding any future use of
fees in conjunction with meetings within the JTC1
organization.
Resolution AY Liaison Report to SC2
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 directs the SC22 secretariat to forward the
following liaison statement to SC2.
Liaison report from SC22 to SC2.
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 appreciates the work by SC2 in producing the
multi-octet character set standard: ISO/IEC 10646. This
standard is considered to become one of the fundamental base
standards on which the Programming Language standards should
be based. It is with concern that SC22 has noted recent
extensive changes to the proposed standard that will affect
several Programming Language standards.
- SC22 notes that several standards developed in SC22, for
example ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (Programming Language C) and
ISO/IEC 9945:1990 (POSIX), indicate the end of a multi-byte
character string with a NUL octet; and informs SC2 that
existing systems based upon the above standards cannot make
direct use of a system containing NUL octets.
- SC22 brings to the attention of SC2 that it should not be
assumed that a single coded character set will be used for
coding all character sequences. For the foreseeable future, it
is likely that many character sequences will be in IS 646, or
conforming to IS 8859. It is essential that future character
sets provide an escape sequence to announce the character set
used to express the data that follows, IS 2022 for example.
Resolution AZ Mnemonic Names for Characters
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22
- notes the continuing requirement for each character to
have a short identifier to facilitate processing;
- instructs WG20 to investigate this requirement and, if
appropriate, to prepare an NP for consultative ballot in
SC22; and
- through liaison with SC2, send any NP to SC2 for their
comments.
Resolution BA Syntactic Meta-language
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22
- asks the UK Member Body to provide a short background
paper on rationale and justification for an International
Standard for syntactic meta-language;
- instructs the SC22 secretariat to issue this background
paper with a consultative letter ballot with the
following questions:
1) Do you have an interest in an International Standard
on this subject?
2) Do you have a base document to contribute?
Resolution BB Liaison from SC22 to SC2
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22
- notes Dr. Miles Ellis has resigned as liaison and thanks
him for his efforts;
- appoints Mr. Johan van Wingen as liaison representative
to SC2; and
- invites WG14, WG15 and WG20 to send Mr. Keld Simonsen as
their representative to the forthcoming meeting of
SC2/WG2.
Resolution BC Background Material for Working Groups
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 instructs the SC22 secretariat to distribute
to present and future convenors any appropriate documents
including:
- ISO/IEC directives, parts 2 and 3,
- JTC1 directives,
- ISO Memento,
- ISO Technical Reports on Terminology,
- IS 2382: Vocabulary, Part 15: Programming Languages.
Resolution BD Large New Work Item Proposals
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 agrees with the principle that a period of
forward planning is often needed before a major new project is
embarked upon, recognizes that the procedures proposed in
JTC1/N1381 (SC22/N976) cover many of the issues that need to
be addressed as part of such forward planning but wishes to
emphasize that it already has its own documented practices
which in many cases overlap the proposed procedures and are
generally better suited to its requirements.
In the area of work which SC22 covers, SC22 has the following
concerns:
1. We often experience pressures to produce standards
quickly, to minimise divergence of language implementations,
so we wish to avoid additional procedures which could delay
the progress of a standard.
2. Language standards are produced almost wholly by voluntary
effort, so forward planning of resources with any accuracy is
almost impossible.
3. Prolonged study periods in areas where products are
already on the market or under development, which is the
normal situation in our area, could lead to the standards
process being bypassed or ignored.
4. The assessment of technical approach, technical
flexibility, resource estimation and resource scheduling are
often difficult, if not impossible, given the rate of
technology change taking place in the industry.
5. It is unclear what is meant by the term "large New Work
Item proposals".
6. The use of established management methods and tools for
handling large development projects seem not to be given
sufficient prominence in the proposal.
Resolution BE Appreciation to WG2 and JPC (X3J9/IEEE-770):
completion of Extended Pascal
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 is pleased to note the publication of
ISO/IEC 10206:1991 (Extended Pascal), and expresses its

standard will reference ISO standards where they exist,
instead of other standards and that the current ISO standards
are referenced, before forwarding the PCTE standard to ISO.
Resolution BJ Subdivision Modula-2 Project
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 instructs the SC22 secretariat to submit a
corrected version of VA-13 to JTC1 for endorsement as a
project subdivision or as a set of new work items for ballot
and or some combination thereof, at the discretion of the
secretary and chairman of SC22 on consideration of the
original Modula-2 project description.
Resolution BK Appreciation to WG15 and IEEE TCOS: completion
