JTC1/SC22/WG11 - Binding Techniques

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG11 is the international standardization working group working on binding techniques for programming languages: how to make specifications independent of programming languages, and then apply these specifications to the programming languages.

Approved international specifications produced include:

• ISO/IEC TR 10182:1993 - Guidelines for language bindings
• ISO/IEC 10967-1:1994 - Language Independent Arithmetic, part 1: Integer and Floating Point Arithmetic
• ISO/IEC 10967-2:2001 - Language Independent Arithmetic, part 2: Elementary Numerical Functions
• ISO/IEC 10967-3:2006 - Language Independent Arithmetic, part 3: Complex Integer and Floating Point Arithmetic and Complex Elementary Numerical Functions
• ISO/IEC 11404:2007 - General Purpose Datatypes (GPD)
• ISO/IEC 13886:1996 - Language Independent Procedure Calling (LIPC)
• ISO/IEC TR 14369:1999 - Guidelines for Preparation of Language Independent Service Specifications (LISS)

All above mentioned documents are freely available from the following ISO website.

You can obtain these international standards (also) via your national member body.

Work in progress include:

• A project to revise all parts of the language independent arithmetic standard ISO/IEC 10967; for a description and current planning see this WG11 email.

The WG11 document register with links to documents is available.

Information on meetings are also available.

If you want further information, or want to participate, please contact your national member body or one of the WG11 addresses.

For members of WG11 there are a number of internal documents available.
