I read all the discussion up to now, and the new proposal is in https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/attachment/ticket/388/errata-30... Page 7 lines 14-15 read For TS 29113 quality, new routines are needed only for routines with choice buffer arguments. but should read If the accompanying Fortran compiler supports TS 29113, then new routines are needed only for routines with choice buffer arguments. ____________ Short explanation: We used the word "accompanying" already in the MPI standard several times for the accompanying C++ compiler. For Fortran we used in 17.1.7 the wording "the Fortran compiler suite for which it is compiled." I believe, here in this advice, the shortcut "accompanying" is good enough. With this, the round of reviews within the Fortran-WG starts again. Please explicitly send an okay (or better wording).
