Agenda for 22 June

[Jim Dehnert]

Following is an updated agenda.  The status pages are updated and on
the web (HTML now, PDF later) at:

	http://reality.sgi.com/dehnert_engr/cxx/cxx-summary.html

The contact info page is now also there, in password-protected PDF only
for privacy.  The password is "not an orc".

Note that it doesn't usually work to try to contact me by email
or phone the morning of the meeting, as I come directly from home.  If
you come in physically to the meeting, and the receptionist won't let
you come back to the conference room on your own, have her call the
conference room (it has a phone other than the one we use for the
meeting).

As usual, most of the updates are in the ABI layout document, in red.
The significant changes from last meeting are:

 - A scope section (1.4).
 - Clarification of vcall offsets (2.5.3, category 3).
 - Clarification of VTT (2.6.2).
 - Guard variable specification (2.8).
 - Specification of vmi_bases for 32-bit ABIs.
 - Clarify mangling compression rules (5.1.7).
 - Fix mangling examples.
 - Modify vague linkage of static data (5.2.2).
 - Specify vague linkage of instantiated templates (5.2.4).

Please take a careful look at the colored text, and raise any issues
you observe.

Take a look at the material associated with the following issues.
If you see something, please send it by email.

  1) C-2:  Priority for constructors.  I think the base ABI group has
     agreed to assign us a section type for this.  I'll try to get it
     pinned down in the next meeting (Monday).

  2) F-3:  Mangling instantiation/specialization.
     F-4:  Empty throw specifications.
     F-10: Mangling return types.

We have an ancient action item for Jason to provide dynamic cast
pseudocode.  Did I miss it?

Please also give some thought to what else (not on our lists) ought to
be considered at this point.
