- I'm not involved in the restandardization process, but since you say
- you need it yesterday, here's what they said at the VIUF Spring '92
- conference.
-
- o A language-defined STRING-valued attribute called FOREIGN now exists
- in STANDARD
-
- o This pre-defined attribute may only be placed on architectures or
- subprograms
-
- o The value of this attribute is intended to supply interfacing
- details
-
- o The allowed attribute and values and the extent to which this capability
- is provided are implementation-dependent.
