Minutes of the 14 August 2008 Teleconference Austin-438 Page 1 of 1 Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group. August 15 , 2008 Attendees Andrew Josey, The Open Group Mark Brown, IBM, TOG OR Don Cragun , Sun, PASC OR Nick Stoughton, USENIX, ISO/IEC OR Ulrich Drepper, Red Hat Mats Wichman , Intel (partial) Apologies Geoff Clare, The Open Group * Draft Status Andrew reported that the draft has been submitted to IEEE for approval and will be submitted to the September Revcom meeting. He reported that the ISO editors required various minor changes to the document, such as no "draft" watermark, no line numbers and that the pdf be unlocked. A revised unlocked pdf has been sent to ISO. Sally Seitz has submitted this on to ISO. There was some concern that the document at ISO will differ. Andrew noted that we will try to remedy that for final publication as this version is just for ballot. We are still waiting to hear when the ISO ballot will commence. * Aardvark We picked up on the aardvark reports, which are located at http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/ XCU ERN 182 trap Accept Send down the interps track. The standard states the requirements for trap with no arguments , and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. (Target for TC1) XCU ERN 183 time OPEN This needs some further discussion. It was suggested that we need to invite David Korn to join us at the next meeting. Action: Andrew send email to dgk. (completed) XCU ERN 184 time -p output Accept as marked below Take action 2 2. Insert the following new sentence: ``The implementation may also prepend a single empty line before the format shown here.'' at the end of the paragraph on P917, L35578. Send this down the interps track. The standard states the requirements for time -p , and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. (Target for TC1) XSH ERN 250 setlocale Accept as marked Send this down the interps track. The standard states the requirements for setlocale() , and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. (Target for TC1) Change line 41265f to [...] The application shall not modify the string returned. The returned string pointer might be invalidated or the string content overwritten by a subsequent call to setlocale(). Add new para as last para of DESCRIPTION The implementation shall behave as if no function defined in this volume of POSIX.1-200x calls set setlocale() A new para of APP USAGE Applications that use multiple threads should use uselocale() in preference to setlocale(). * D5.1R aardvarks XSHbug3 ERN 2 getcwd()() extra parens Accept (editorial will fix for publication) XSHbug3 ERN 3 pthread_rwlock_destroy Accept (editorial will fix for publication) XSHbug3 ERN 4 sigaction Accept as marked Fix the application usage on sigaction() page 1919 so its consistent with the signal() page Target for TC1 (not interpretation necessary as informative text) XSHbug3 ERN 5 sigaction Duplicate of earlier report This bug was against D5R and this matter was reported earlier and fix in D5.1R XSHbug3 ERN 6 tgamma OPEN Action: Andrew ask for Fred Tydeman's input on this issue based on all the mail thread XSHbug3 ERN 7 wait EXAMPLE Accept as marked Add return 0; /* NOTREACHED */ after line 68919/before line 68920. Target for TC1 XCUbug3 ERN 1 2.10.2 Shell Grammar Accept Send down the interps track. The standard states the requirements for the shell grammar , and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. (Target for TC1) XCUbug3 ERN 2 2.9.3 lists Accept as marked Send down the interps track. The standard states the requirements for the shell grammar , and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. (Target for TC1) Change from: A list is a sequence of one or more AND-OR lists separated by the operators ; and & and optionally terminated by ;, &, or . To: A list is a sequence of one or more AND-OR lists separated by the operators ; and &. Change from "A ';' or terminator shall cause the preceding AND-OR list to be executed sequentially; an '&' shall cause asynchronous execution of the preceding AND-OR list." To: "A ';' separator or a ';' or terminator shall cause the preceding AND-OR list to be executed sequentially; an '&' separator or terminator shall cause asynchronous execution of the preceding AND-OR list."
