XSH ERN 132 %M for fscanf OPEN This is invention, but arises from the LSB conflicts.

At the moment silence should be read as unspecified. XCU ERN 94 ed SIGHUP/disconnect OPEN Action: Mark will take the action to come back with a further proposal +The above carried forward OPEN from last time, we picked up as follows: XSH ERN 147 Tracing POSIX_TRACE_RESUME OPEN At the minimum the text appears to be confusing. We will need an interp to cleanup the issue. One view is that the POSIX_TRACE_RESUME event is logged at the time the next event occurs. Action: Mark Brown will review and make a proposal XSH ERN 154 posix_trace_create Accept XCU ERN 118 m4 Accept as marked below Add to end of 'define' on page 581 22455 It is unspecified whether the 'define' macro deletes all prior definitions of the macro named by its first argument or preserves all but the current definition of the macro. Add a paragraph to Application Usage, just after line 22567: When a macro has been multiply defined via the pushdef macro, it is unspecified whether the define macro will alter only the most recent definition (as though by popdef and pushdef), or replace the entire stack of definitions with a single definition (as though by undefine and pushdef). An application desiring particular behavior for the define macro in this case can redefine it accordingly. XCU ERN 119 m4 translit Accept as marked below see rdvk Add to SD/5 Add a sentence to the paragraph at line 22551: Behavior is unspecified if the character '-' appears within the second or third argument anywhere besides the first or last character. Add to the RATIONALE section: Historic System V based behavior treated "-" as a literal, GNU behavior treats it as a range. This revision of the standard allows either behavior XCU ERN 115 time example Accept XCU ERN 111 m4 more than 9 arguments OPEN Leave open for now , it was felt that we need a solution that will not break existing scripts that use $11 to mean $1 followed by 1 Next Steps ----------- Andrew will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound defect reports.
