This will allow for branches to be built with a continuous build pipeline. Andrew took an action to have the regular core team members added to the gitlab project (completed after the call) * Outstanding actions (Please note that this section has been flushed to shorten the minutes - to locate the previous set of outstanding actions, look to the minutes from 13th June 2019 and earlier) Bug 1254: "asynchronous list" description uses "command" instead of "AND-OR list" OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1254 Action: Joerg to investigate how his shell behaves. Bug 700 - Nick to raise this issue with the C committee Bug 713 - Nick to raise with the C committee. Bug 739 - Nick to raise with the C committee. Bug 1216 - Eric to ask if The Open Group is willing to sponsor this interface, referencing bug note 4478. * Current Business Bug 1293: Add methods associated with manipulating pthread affinity on SMP systems Rejected http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1293 This was discussed during the 2019-10-17 conference call: As noted in Note: 0004574, this problem has very hardware specific issues. Since the POSIX standards are not intended to be hardware specific, we do not feel that this is an appropriate set of interfaces to be included at this time... If another standards body does produce a standard in this area that provides generic hardware support, we will then consider referencing that standard the same way POSIX.1-2018 references the 1999 C Standard. But also note that this seems to be a type of system configuration and resource availability issue that is specifically listed as outside the scope of the current standard in Section 1.1 Scope in the Introduction to the current standard. OpenMP is a group that is working in this area. This enhancement request is rejected. Bug 1294: POSIX recognizes the existence of dynamically loadable, executable object files, but provides no way of producing them. OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1294 This was discussed on the call and will be continued next time.
