* Outstanding actions

( Please note that I have flushed this section to shorten the minutes -
to locate the last set of outstanding actions, look
to the minutes from 26 Feb 2015)

Bug 0000887: printf and other functions appear many times in search results OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=887
Andrew is investigating.

Bug 0000900: add qsort_r        OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=900

The consensus was that its a good idea to add the suggested interface.
The usual requirements regarding a sponsor for a new interface
apply.

Action: Open Group OR , to ask the Base WG if they wish to sponsor
the additional qsort interface proposed here.

Bug  0000901: reserve _POSIX* shell option namespace for future use        OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=901

The forward plan for this bug remains as before:

    Richard: file a new bug report with a concrete feature that
    would use the _POSIX* namespace (as motivation for reserving
    set -o _POSIX*)

    All: debate the proposed feature.  If it's something we want,
    then revisit bug #901.  If not, close bug #901.



Bug 0000922: Implementations should be allowed to change/remove implementation-defined environment variables         OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=922

This item remains open. 

Action on Eric: propose wording for Issue 8 to add secure_getenv(),
and make it clear that deleting from environment without explicit
request is not compliant, but ignoring is fine.

For Issue 7 TC 2: Create new bug to add additional conditions on
what makes TMPDIR valid, vs. undefined behavior; also add future
directions to getenv() to mention secure_getenv()

* Current Business

The meeting focussed on two bugs and initialisation of structures.

Bug #939: Clarify getaddrinfo() hints initialisation       Reopened
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=939

This was initially accepted, however after bug 934 was looked at
further it was reopened.


Problem:  What if the hints struct has another structure as an
extension member?  Then "set to zero or null or an implementation-defined
value" doesn't quite make sense.


0000934: Requirement for zeroing the sockaddr_in and sockaddr_un structures. OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=934

This was discussed at length. Detailed proposals were captured in the etherpad
and will be continued next week
