Plum reported that OWGV appreciated the participation of many WG21 members at the last OWGV meeting in Kona.
OWGV last met at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute in Pittsburgh PA. They will next meet in the Netherlands, adjacent to the Spring 2008 meeting of WG14/J11.
The post-Kona draft of the WP is J16/07-0331 = WG21/N2461.
In Kona, a drafting committee and a review committee were empowered to specify the multithreading library. The result of that effort has been added to a subsequent draft, which is J16/08-0031 = WG21/N2521.
Brown read aloud a formal statement on the behalf of Fermilab:
Fermilab strongly objects to the adoption of N2522 as an official J16/WG21 Working Paper/Working Draft. Our specific objection is to "Chapter 31 Date and time library [datetime]" and to those small parts of other chapters (notably "Chapter 30 Thread support library [thread]") that make use of Chapter 31. We have no objection to any other parts of N2521. We understand that paper N2498 in the pre-meeting mailing seeks to modify much or most of Chapter 31, but we do not address that paper here; we are objecting to the adoption of N2521 on the basis of what it says today. We base our objection on a number of technical issues, most of which we have set forth in our paper N2526. Our major objections are: - a multiplicity of types introduced to represent the single idea of a duration; - the consequent need to write templates, not functions, for even simple purposes, making it very difficult to write libraries using these types; - the explosion in the number of types needed as we extend this approach to additional physical quantities. Additionally, we believe that Chapter 31's approach of introducing standard types, such as seconds and nanoseconds, is an incorrect abstraction. More importantly, we also believe that it contradicts a pre-existing International Standard, namely "International Standard 31 Quantities and units." We are fully aware that we are asking this Committee to reverse itself, but there is ample precedent for this. Moreover, the principal authors of the clause in question are themselves already seeking (in N2498) to do so. We therefore ask that Chapter 31 and all references to its contents be excised from the motion under consideration.
Motion to accept the working paper
Mover: Becker |
Seconder: Klarer |
Plum moved to amend the motion as follows:
Motion to remove chapter 31 from the current Working Draft and accept the rest. The paper will be inconsistent and incomplete. The inconsistency will be remedied in one of two ways: by addressing controversies surrounding chapter 31 in later drafts, or by removing from a Working Draft all references to chapter 31.
Mover: Plum |
Seconder: Brown |
Plauger called the question on the motion to amend.

Nelson proposed that, if a document is produced at this meeting to be voted on at this meeting, it has to be posted to the formal motions page on the wiki. Nelson elaborated that it is not sufficient to upload the document to a subgroup page and then link to it; the document should be uploaded to the formal motions page by the time straw poll discussions commence on Friday.
Clamage reported that two names have been submitted to be Friends of the Committee:
There will be a formal motion to grant Friend of the Committee status to these individuals on Saturday.
We have three subgroups: Core, Library, and Evolution. There will be a subgroup of Evolution to deal with issues relating to concurrency.
The committee broke into subgroups at 10:30 (GMT+10).
See 10.1, below.
Friends of the Committee Move to grant the following organizations Friend of the Committee status:
Mover: Hedquist |
Seconder: Stoughton |

J16 Liaisons Move that J16 approves the following members as liaisons to the designated committees:
Mover: Hedquist |
Seconder: Plauger |
WG | favor | oppose | abstain |
J16 | unanimous consent |
Motion 1. Move we apply the resolutions to the following issues from N2494 to the C++0X Working Paper:
527, 561, 562, 563, 567, 581, 620, 621, 622, 623, 624, 661, 664, 665, 666, 674, 675, 676, 679, 680, 687, 688, 689, 693, 694, 695, 700, 703, 705, 706
Mover: Hinnant |
Seconder: Plauger |
Gregor indicated that he had found a problem in the proposed resolution for 688, and that the author of the resolution agreed.
Hinnant proposed an amendment to the motion, dropping issue 688 from the list of issues to be considered. Plauger agreed to the amendment.
Amended Motion 1. Move we apply the resolutions to the following issues from N2494 to the C++0X Working Paper:
527, 561, 562, 563, 567, 581, 620, 621, 622, 623, 624, 661, 664, 665, 666, 674, 675, 676, 679, 680, 687, 689, 693, 694, 695, 700, 703, 705, 706
WG | favor | oppose | abstain |
J16 | 27 | 0 | 0 |
Motion 2. Move we apply WG21/N2528 "Timed_mutex in C++0x" to the C++0X Working Paper.
Lakos requested further explanation of the reasons for the removal of timed_mutex.
Boehm responded by mentioning that it is a relatively minor component, and that it will be seldom used. Furthermore, there is a possibility that, in the future, the base mutex will support this capability. For that reason, the proposal is to defer the introduction of this capability to a TR.
Lakos suggested allowing an implementation to provide timed_mutex in the form of a typedef which my or may not have the same underlying type as the base mutex. He attributed this idea to Dietmar Kühl.
