[p-1788] Working group report for MSC quarterly meeting
P-1788,
I append my working group report for our sponsor's (the
IEEE Microprocessor Standardization Committee) quarterly
teleconference, for your information.
I have taken the liberty of submitting it, since there is less
than 36 hours before the meeting. However, if you happen to
receive this message before then and have questions or
concerns I should bring up at this IEEE meeting, please
feel free to email me with them.
Best regards,
Baker

IEEE P-1788 2012 First Quarter Working Group Report
There has been extensive discussion during the first
quarter, largely focusing on "edge cases" (such as
handling semi-infinite and infinite intervals).
While exception-handling schemes have been put on
hold for the time being, position two position papers,
specifically on constructors and on the definition
and scope of midpoint, are presently under vote.
Additionally, the "level 1" portion of the standards
text, except for those parts dealing with constructors
and exception handling, is presently under vote.
Business continues to be transacted exclusively over
the stds-1788@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx list.
A complete list of motions, the actual motions themselves,
and the motions' status, appear in the private area of
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1788/
Please contact me (Baker Kearfott, rbk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) if
you desire a password for this area.
As usual, thanks are due to the several people most active
in the discussions, and particularly due to our technical
editor John Pryce and our webmaster Juergen Wolff von Gudenberg.
