Re: Development stage timeline?

[Paul Richard Thomas <paul.richard.thomas@gmail.com>]

Dear Damian and Janne,

I have beaten my head against various approaches to parameterized
derived types and have come up against the proverbial brick-wall. I
can see how to do it now, having tried so many blind alleys. Whether
or not I can come up with something before the end of stage-1, I don't
know. By way of light relief, I have been clearing my backlog of PRs
:-)

The trick with pdts is going to be to turn them into a set of macros,
that substitute the kind parameters and produce appropriate
initialization procedures, using the len parameters, and finalization
routines. I have been researching various ways of doing this,
including m4, but have concluded that rolling my own is the best way
to proceed.

As Janne says, we are not so tightly bound by the deadlines as C and
C++ and so there is a little bit of leeway.....

I wonder if Jerry has made any progress with derived type IO?

Cheers

Paul
