An interpretation is required. Interpretation response: The standard is unclear on this issue, and no conformance distinction can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This is being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: When the standard states "bytes from the converted string shall be written" it is not clear whether the string has to be completely converted or can be converted on the fly. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): On page 3113 line 104120 section printf, append to the \c description: If a precision is specified and the argument contains a '\c' after the point at which the number of bytes indicated by the precision specification have been written, it is unspecified whether the '\c' takes effect. Bug 1203: fcntl return value inconsistent wording Accepted http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1203 This item is tagged for TC3-2008. Bug 1204: Vague wording as to the validity of s/RE command without trailing delimiter and replacement OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1204 We will continue this item on the next call.
