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 TC2-2008 bugs: Bug 0000994: missed uses of when expanding bug 584 Accepted http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=994 Bug 0000995: missed change to User ID definition from bug 511 Accepted http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=995 Bug 0000996: The change in XSH 2.2.2 leaves an empty row Accept as Marked http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=996 Change: Remove the following from the Complete Name column for : int[0-9a-z_]*_t, uint[0-9a-z_]*_t to: Remove the row from the table and append the following sentence to the small-font note after the table: The C standard reserves int[0-9a-z_]*_t and uint[0-9a-z_]*_t in ; this is not included in the table above because it is covered by the reserved _t suffix for any header. Bug 00000992: Draft numbers should match.
