* Draft Status
Andrew has submitted the document for Open Group approval,
targeting board approval at the late July meeting.
Andrew has received the confirmation from IEEE staff liaison that we are
go for submission for approval. Andrew has started the paperwork for IEEE
approval. He has circulated the roster to the reflector for finalization.
We believe that no patent paperwork is necessary as either the paper on
file can be reference but also the two patents have expired.
There has been some delay starting the ISO ballot. Apparently the
ballot is in the queue.
* Interpretations Status
We picked up on the discussion on Austin interpretation 211, and
think we should accept Dave's suggestion as the direction for
the proposed resolution. We need to identify the proposed wording
next.
Action: Andrew ask Dave if he able to propose some words to resolve
the interpretation request.
* Aardvark
XSH ERN 242 getgrouplist() new API Reject
The mechanism for submitting a new api is through one of the three
sponsoring organizations, see Austin 112r2 for more information
on starting a new work item.
It was noted that there has been some discussion on the reflector about this
particular API and responses to the concerns raised should be included
with any sponsor submission.
XSH ERN 243 getnameinfo salen argument Accept
Send down the interpretations track, the std is silent, concerns forwarded to
the sponsor.
(target for TC1R)
XSH ERN 244 getnameinfo() nodelen argument Accept
Send down the interpretations track, the std is wrong, concerns forwarded to
the sponsor.
(target for TC1R)
A defect in XSH Draft 5.1R had been reported.
@ page 1671 line 53680 section pthread_rwlock_destroy( ) editorial {jmaurer-1}
Problem:
syntax error in signature
int pthread_rwlock_destroy(pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock,
Action:
fix the declaration to read:
int pthread_rwlock_destroy(pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock);
It was agreed that the editors should fix this as an editorial matter.
Pass to Cathy.
* Other discussions
We discussed scanf and error handling. We decided it might be best
to take this to the ISO C committee
* Possible shading errors
We noticed some possible shading errors. This is for errors that
were previously XSI shaded. In moving the Base we had usually
marked these as CX. It was now felt that some of these are mandatory
in the ISO C standard, and vice-versa in some cases.
Draft 5.1:
fscanf page 934 line 31318
ENOMEM error should CX shaded
EILSEQ error should not be CX shaded
fprintf page 899 line 30008
EILSEQ should not be CX shaded
fwscanf page 988 lines 33174, 33175
ENOEM should be CX shaded
fwprintf page 978 line 32820-32821
ungetwc page 2115
EILSEQ should not be CX shaded
The editors will consider whether these can be fixed up for publication
or whether these have to wait until TC1.
