We agreed this was ready to start its review. Andrew took the action to start the interpretation review (completed after the meeting) We skipped over bug 1302 until Geoff is in attendance. Bug 1303: Artificial limit on the number of files in a directory. Accepted as Marked http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1303 This issue was discussed during our 2020-01-06 conference call. The Description provides a series of interesting facts, but we have no existing practice to standardize. Furthermore, we do not expect that people will actually place more files in a directory than can fit into an int. And, if we ever do get to tha point, we expect that the size of an int will also have increased by then. Since the Desired Action is "None...", we are accepting this bug as marked rather than rejecting it. Note to the editor: No changes are required in the standard. Bug 1304: Align c99 -o with reality, the standard should not be more restrictive than implementations OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1304 We started on this item and will continue on the next call.
