Minutes of the 24th April 2025 Teleconference Austin-1454 Page 1 of 1 Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group. 28th April 2025 Attendees: Andrew Josey, The Open Group Eric Ackermann, CISPA Haelwenn Monnier, The Open Group Don Cragun, IEEE SA OR Geoff Clare, The Open Group Nick Stoughton, USENIX, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22 OR Mark Brown Eric Blake, Red Hat, The Open Group OR We confirmed the calendar for upcoming meetings, the next one is May 1st, then May 8th. * Open Business Bug 1876: clarify, whether a trap action that is executed from a OPEN context where set -e is ignored, would have set -e ignored, too https://www.austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1876 Andrew took an action to ask shell developers to comment on this issue. (completed by sending an email to the reflector: austin-group-l:archive/latest/37925). Bug 864: Insufficient specification of storage requirements for synchronization objects https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=864 AI: Andrew to contact Rich Felker to determine whether or not items 1 an 4 have been resolved by section 2.9.9 and to get suggested wording for changes to address items 2 and 3. The action was completed, but no response received as yet. Bug 1904: LC_TIME era start_date (and end_date) possibly mis-specified https://www.austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1904 This was discussed during the 2025-02-13 meeting: Historically, there was no year 0 and the standard is worded to reflect this fact. Is this what implementation actually do? Andrew had completed an action to ask for input on what other implementations do and some feedback has been received so need to return to this on a future call. * Current Business Andrew approved the interpretation on bug 1857. We skipped over bug 1913 and will wait for feedback from Chet Ramey. Bug 1915: clarification of 2.6.5 field splitting of 2.5.2 special parameter $* https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1915 Action: Geoff to propose wording changes allowing both behaviours seen in bugnote 7138. Bug 1918: c16rtomb, c32rtomb Description Incorrectly References mbrtoc16() in Description https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1918 Accepted, resolved, tc1-2024 tag Bug 1919: Add \A and \z to regular expressions (at least EREs) Accepted as Marked https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1919 Add to BRE Expression Anchoring (P 187 after line 6674) as small NOTE: NOTE: Given the widespread adoption of some sort of special character sequence for matching the beginning and end of string in other languages, a future version of this standard is likely to require such characters to be supported in a regular expression. Implementors are encouraged to provide this as an extension using "\A" for the beginning and "\z" for the end of strings as they are already in widespread use for this purpose in other languages. Add the same note to ERE Expression Anchoring page 190 after line 6811. Next Steps We will start on bug 1915 next time.
