Aardvark Bug Reports -------------------- We picked up on the current aardvark http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/ XSH ERN 172 sigaction Accept as marked below Agree to normative text: Change "sigaction() behaves" to "sigaction() may behave". Add to Usage Since the sigaction() function is allowed but not required to set SA_NODEFER when the application sets the SA_RESETHAND flag, applications which depend on the SA_RESETHAND functionality for the newly installed signal handler must always explicitly set SA_NODEFER when they set SA_RESETHAND in order to be portable. XCU ERN 135 ed Accept as marked Remove the following para from 13541-13544 page 350 Historically, values could be added to addresses by including them after one or more s; for example, "3 - 5p" wrote the seventh line of the file, and "/foo/ 5" was the same as "5 /foo/" . However, only absolute values could be added; for example, "5 /foo/" was an error. XCU ERN 136 bg jobs wait etc Accept (this is a html conversion error) (Action on Andrew to fix the current html) XCU ERN 137 m4 eval Accept XCU ERN 138 m4 incr Reject Reject: We do not want to encourage divergence, implementations are always allowed to implement extensions enabled by options.
