Minutes of the 23 April 2009 Teleconference Austin-452 Page 1 of 1 Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group. April 24 , 2009 Attendees Andrew Josey, The Open Group Don Cragun, PASC OR Geoff Clare, The Open Group Mark Brown, IBM, TOG OR Nick Stoughton, USENIX, ISO/IEC OR Mats Wichmann, (IRC only) Apologies Ulrich Drepper, Red Hat * ISO status We discussed the request from ISO to remove the line numbers for publication. We are strongly opposed to that idea, as the standard has always had line numbers and been approved and published at least four times by ISO/IEC with them present. Andrew will take the action to inform the IEEE coordinators that we are opposed to this, and request that ISO retain them. (action completed) * Bugzilla We briefly discussed the bugzilla status. We agreed that Mark will prototype and customize a solution, and that when we are happy with that we will transition that to The Open Group data centre. * Aardvark review We picked up again on the latest rdvk reports. http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/ XCUbug2 ERN 183 time keyword interpretation Closing Fold in the changes from mail sequence 12054 , Geoff will take the action (now completed). This change should be targeted for the next revision. XSH bug ERN 31 Accept XSH bug ERN 32 Accept XBD bug ERN 6 Accept Discussion related to negative time values on the mailing list. Don will take an action to create an aardvark (once we have reviewed the wording changes below on the reflector). This should be sent down the interpretations track with the recommendation that the standard is silent on the issue, no distinction can be made between differing implementations and that concerns are being forwarded to the sponsor. Agreed to add a change to time() on p2107 line 66673 This function will fail with EOVERFLOW if the time to be returned will not fit into a type of time_t. Add to the end of line 66671 The time() function shall not change the value of errno if successful. On page 2108 line 66710 (APPLICATION USAGE) Change None to "Since (time_t) -1 is a successful return, an application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0, then call time(), then if it returned time_t -1, check to see if errno non zero." Next meeting ------------ The next call will be on May 14 at 16:00 UK time/08:00 Pacific to carry on with the aardvark. See the calendar for the list of dialup numbers.
