There is no update on the latest ISO status. Tom will update us from IEEE (completed after the meeting - basically we are now waiting on ISO to withdraw the current project). * Open Business Bug 1876: clarify, whether a trap action that is executed from a OPEN context where set -e is ignored, would have set -e ignored, too https://www.austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1876 Andrew took an action to ask shell developers to comment on this issue. (completed by sending an email to the reflector: austin-group-l:archive/latest/37925). Bug 864: Insufficient specification of storage requirements for synchronization objects https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=864 AI: Andrew to contact Rich Felker to determine whether or not items 1 an 4 have been resolved by section 2.9.9 and to get suggested wording for changes to address items 2 and 3. The action was completed, but no response received as yet. Bug 1904: LC_TIME era start_date (and end_date) possibly mis-specified https://www.austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1904 This was discussed during the 2025-02-13 meeting: Historically, there was no year 0 and the standard is worded to reflect this fact. Is this what implementation actually do? Andrew had completed an action to ask for input on what other implementations do and some feedback has been received so need to return to this on a future call. * Current Business We skipped over bug 1913 and will wait for feedback from Chet Ramey. Bug 1915: clarification of 2.6.5 field splitting of 2.5.2 special parameter $* https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1915 We need the shell authors to decide on this item. 2025-03-27: AI Andrew: Ask shell developers for guidance on requirements. Bug 1916: termios: the speed_t interfaces are inadequate https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1916 Accepted as marked, resolved, tc1-2024 tag. We agree that this is a shortcoming in the standard. But the standard does not generally invent requirements for new interfaces. But additional baud rates are defined by some implementations and could be added to . The following additions are all supported by BSD, GNU, and Solaris: B57600, B115200, B230400, B460800, and B921600 so we should be able to add these in Issue 9. Bug 0001917: formatting error for uuencode historical algorithm code snippet https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1917 This has been fixed by the editors, and will be closed when the download bundles are next updated.
