MANAGEMENT SUMMARY 1.1 JTC1/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 JTC 1.22.32- Programming Language C++ - This project was delivered by the publishing of ISO/IEC 14882:1998 (first standard) and :2003 (minor revision). 1.2.2. PROJECTS UNDERWAY JTC 1.22.18015 Information Technology - Programming Languages Technical Report on C++ Performance (Technical Report Type 3) JTC 1.22.19768 Information Technology - Programming Languages Technical Report of Type 2 on C++ Library Extensions (based on ISO/IEC 14882) JTC 1.22.24733 Information Technology - Programming Languages Technical Report of Type 2 on Extensions for the programming language C++ to support decimal floating point arithmetic JTC 1.22.32- Work has begun on the first major revision. 1.2.3. CANCELLED PROJECTS None over this period. 1.2.4. COOPERATION and COMPETITION Where appropriate, WG21 has established liaisons with other SC22 and SC22 liaison organizations' working groups. There is no direct competition with any other current SC22 working group. Related work is being done in SC22/WG14 (C) and Ecma TC39/TG5 (C++/CLI) with broad WG21 liaison to both groups. 2. PERIOD REVIEW 2.1. MARKET REQUIREMENTS ISO C++ remains a widely-used foundation technology, well-received in the marketplace. WG21 is developing a revision of ISO 14882, and is completing work on a Technical Report on C++ Library Extensions. 2.2. ACHIEVEMENTS The technical work on JTC 1.22.18015 Information Technology Programming Languages Technical Report on C++ Performance (Technical Report Type 3) is complete and in DTR balloting. 2.3. RESOURCES WG21 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.) Fifteen countries participate by attending these meetings or by being involved in the technical discussions that take place over the reflector. The countries are: Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and USA. WG21 has been monitoring the cross-language standards activities, and made use of the ISO/IEC JTC1/WG20 guidelines on extended characters.

FOCUS NEXT WORK PERIOD 3.1. DELIVERABLES The DTR ballot for JTC 1.22.18015 Information Technology Programming Languages Technical Report on C++ Performance (Technical Report Type 3) is in progress. Technical work on JTC 1.22.19768 Information Technology - Programming Languages Technical Report of Type 2 on C++ Library Extensions (based on ISO/IEC 14882) is expected to be completed at the October 2004 or April 2005 meeting. A New Work Item request is currently being balloted to begin a second Library Extensions Type 2 TR to continue extensions to the C++ standard library. Technical work on JTC 1.22.24733 Information Technology - Programming Languages Technical Report of Type 2 on Extensions for the programming language C++ to support decimal floating point arithmetic (based on ISO/IEC 14882) is getting underway with broad liaison coordination with WG14's similar work item. 3.2.
