Accredited Standards Committee* X3, Information Technology NEWS RELEASE Doc. No.: PR/96-107 Reply to: Deborah J. Donovan at ddonovan@itic.nw.dc.us
Washington D.C., December 1996 - Accredited Standards Committee X3, Information Technology is announcing the public comment period for ISO/IEC (2nd) CD 14882. Although the formal public review extends from January 17, 1997 to March 18, 1997, the U.S. TAG (X3J16) will accept comments immediately.
This International Standard specifies requirements for implementations of the C++ programming language. The first such requirement is that they implement the language, and so this International Standard also defines C++. Other requirement and relaxations of the first requirement appear at various places within the Standard.
Note: This draft international standard is being processed simultaneously as an American National Standard and an International Standard.
Public Review Comment Instructions:
To facilitate speedy consideration of comments, please submit them via email to (ddonovan@itic.nw.dc.us). In addition, all public review comments must include name, company name, address, telephone number, and email address if applicable.
The public review period closes on March 18, 1997. However, in order for comments to affect the position of the U.S. TAG, they must be received prior to February 28, 1997. Therefore, all commentors are urged to submit comments as early in the public review period as possible. Public review comments received after March 19, 1997 will be addressed and considered for future balloting and/or revision.
[Note to Commentors]: Due to their meeting schedule and the expected volume of comments for ISO/IEC CD 14882, the U.S. TAG (X3J16) does not plan to be able to issue final responses to commentors until August 1997.
