* General news

A reminder that we have agreed there will be no Monday meetings for a while.

We discussed the status of our responses to the ISO editorial comments.
Nick confirmed that they have been sent (via Bill Ash) to the ISO editors.

We will discuss with Tom the IEEE PSDO process as a possibility for
an alternative approvals path if the document gets rejected at this
late stage by the ISO editors.


* Current Business

Some feedback had been received on the strftime() %z and %Z proposal
that Nick had circulated to the ISO C committee.  We discussed the
points raised briefly and Nick volunteered to try and come up with
wording improvements to address them.


Bug 1851: FD_CLOFORK should not be preserved across exec
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1851

Since Andrew is away we were unable to confirm whether he has completed
the following action from the previous meeting:

AI: Andrew to try to contact Solaris, other BSD, AIX, and macOS for comments.


Bug 1852: Clarify "$@[:$@:]" (with $# -eq 0) OPEN
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1852

We noted the feedback on ksh93 in the bug.

The item remains open for further feedback from other shell authors.


Bug 1845: Status of the thread-safety of exit is confusing
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1845

We decided that we had waited long enough for feedback on the proposal.

AI: Nick to create a first draft of a paper to submit to the C committee.


Bug 1633: Add memrchr
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1633

Eric B. said that he will soon be sending out a call for sponsorship
of several new interfaces to The Open Group Base Working Group.  There
had previously been some discussion of whether to include wmemrchr()
along with memrchr(), and this was discussed again.  The feeling now
is that we should not add it unless somebody implements it, and if
we do not add it there should be some rationale included in the
memrchr() addition explaining why.  During the meeting Eric added a
note to the bug about this.
