XSH --- XSH 76 (will reopen, as we expect to have a list of additional cancellation points to consider next week) XSH ERN 138 A/M XSH ERN 142 A/M Further changes identified And add a shall fail error [EBADF] The file descriptor underlying the stream is not a valid file descriptor when filename is a null pointer. and add a may fail error [EBADF] The mode with which the file descriptor underlying the stream was opened does not support the requested mode when filename is a null pointer. XSH ERN 154 Accept XSH ERN 155 Accept XSH ERN 156 Reject The feeling was that the standard is correct as it is, it is a statement of fact . The requirements for the header is stated in pthread.h as shall, and pthread.h is in the function SYNOPSIS. There are many similar descriptions elsewhere. XSH ERN 157 Accept XSH ERN 158 Accept XSH ERN 159 Accept XSH ERN 160 Accept XSH ERN 161 Reject The feeling was that this proposed error was based on "undefined results" in the DESCRIPTION, and that really means that no error or behavior is defined, an implementation might invoke foomatic debugger or some other thing, EFAULT might be just as valid as EBUSY. If we were to add EBUSY, then consequently the "undefined results" language would also need changing. XSH ERN 162 Reject same reasons as 161 XSH ERN 163 Reject same reasons as 161 XSH ERN 164 Reject same reasons as 161 XSH ERN 165 Accept XSH ERN 166 A/M XSH ERN 167 A/M XBD ---- XBD ERN 34 OPEN Next Steps ----------- Andrew has updated the aardvark reports on the web site with the latest information .
