MANAGEMENT SUMMARY 1.1 JTCI/SC22/WG21 STATEMENT OF SCOPE Development and maintenance of ISO/IEC Standards related to the programming language C++. 1.2. PROJECT REPORT 1.2.1. COMPLETED PROJECTS JTC1.22.32- Programming Language C++ - This project was delivered by the publishing of ISO/IEC 14882:1998. 1.2.2. PROJECTS UNDERWAY JTC 1.22.18015 Information Technology - Programming Languages Technical Report on C++ Performance (Technical Report Type 3) 1.2.3. CANCELLED PROJECTS None over this period. 1.2.4. COOPERATION and COMPETITION Where appropriate, WG21 has established liaisons with other SC22 working groups. There is no apparent direct competition with any other current SC22 working group. 2. PERIOD REVIEW 2.1. MARKET REQUIREMENTS ISO C++ remains a widely-used foundation technology, well-received in the marketplace. WG21 is developing responses to Defect Reports, and has begun work on a Technical Report on C++ Performance. 2.2. ACHIEVEMENTS 2.3. RESOURCES WG14 meets two times per year in co-located technical sessions with the US committee J16. Over the past year, WG21 has timed its technical Sessions to catenate with WG14, allowing those technical experts that would like to attend both technical sessions the opportunity to do so. (The convener of WG21 wishes to thank the convener of WG14 for valiant efforts at harmonious liaison and for the template of this report.) Twelve countries participate by attending these meetings or by being involved in the technical discussions that take place over the reflector. The countries are: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK, and the USA. Switzerland has announced its intention to participate in WG21. WG21 has been monitoring the cross-language standards activities, and are using the ISO/IEC JTC 1/WG20 guidelines on extended characters. The most recent WG21 liaison appointments have not attended WG21 recently. Currently active is only one liaison: WG14 C Thomas Plum 3. FOCUS NEXT WORK PERIOD 3.1. DELIVERABLES Due in June 2001 is the PDTR for JTC 1.22.18015 Information Technology Programming Languages Technical Report on C++ Performance (Technical Report Type 3) 3.2. STRATEGIES WG believes that routine handling will suffice to complete the progress desired. 3.3. RISKS No problems are anticipated. 3.4. OPPORTUNITIES WG21 has developed internal procedures for receiving, logging, and Addressing Defect Reports, consistent with JTC1 and SC22 directives. Some new features: the moderators of the newsgroup comp.std.c++ play a role in the initial DR processing, and the WG21 web page provides reasonably current DR status information. 3.5. WORK PROGRAM PRIORITIES 4. OTHER ITEMS 4.1. POSSIBLE ACTION REQUESTS AT FORTHCOMING PLENARY The project editor for Technical Report on C++ Performance moved to Ireland and has left the employer that supported his work. Fortunately for WG21, the WG21 HoD from Ireland, Martin O'Riordan has volunteered to assume the responsibility of project editor. WG21 requests that SC22 appoint Martin O'Riordan as project editor of the Technical Report on C++ Performance. 4.2 PROJECT EDITORS The following inidividuals have been appointed project editors and backup Project editors: JTC1.22.32, Programming Language C++, Andrew Koenig (Project Editor) Thomas Plum (Backup Project Editor). JTC1.22.18015, Technical Report on C++ Performance, Project Editor is needed (see 4.1 above). 4.3 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION WG21 has conducted much of its detailed technical discussion using the Email Reflector provided by AT&T Labs and Andrew Koenig. WG21 also has An FTP and Web site provided by courtesy of the Danish UNIX Users Group And Keld Simonsen. WG21 is now providing all the appropriate committee Documents on the Committee Web site, reducing the need for paper mailings. 4.4 RECENT MEETINGS No.; Date; Location; Standards Body; Corporate Sponsor --- --------------- ------------------ -------------------------------- 18 Mar 9-14, 1997 Nashua, NH, USA ANSI; Digital Equip.
