Defect Report Processing ------------------------- The group picked up on the latest batch of defect reports, which are available at the following URL: http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/ XSH ERN 29 Accept as marked strfmon example Based on the following statement under "Left Precision": "To ensure alignment, any characters appearing before or after the number in the formatted output such as currency or sign symbols are padded as necessary with s to make their positive and negative formats an equal length." neither of the current examples in the spec nor those proposed in the aardvark are correct. They should be: %(#5n [ $ 123.45 ] Use an alternative pos/neg style [($ 123.45)] [ $ 3,456.78 ] %!(#5n [ 123.45 ] Disable the currency symbol [( 123.45)] [ 3,456.78 ] The trailing space in the positive cases is needed to make the positive and negative formats an equal length. XSH ERN 52 BUG in sched_setscheduler OPEN Andrew updated the rdvk to include todays proposal circulated by Loic which is being left open for one more week for final consideration. Action on all to review. XSH ERN 71 ilogb Accept as marked below For lines 20039- and subsequent lines in the RETURN VALUE section that feature XSI shaded text Change from: If x is 0, [XSI] a domain error shall occur, and[/XSI] the value FP_ILOGB0 shall be returned. to: If x is 0, the value FP_ILOGB0 shall be returned. [XSI] On XSI-conformant systems a domain error shall occur,[/XSI] otherwise a domain error may occur In the ERRORS section , we should add a may fail block, with an unshaded Domain error in there XSH ERN 76 logb Lets ask Fred about this. It appears as if c99 really allowed domain error before in the main body of the standard, and pole error in the annex. We had only the pole error in XSH. We need to allow both for non MX systems, and require a pole error for systems supporting MX. Leave open for now, pending confirmation. XSH ERN 80 perror Accept ----------- All should prepare XSH ERN 52 for the next call. Andrew will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound defect reports. The next call is March 17 2005
