OPEN ACTION 2006-09-13: Andrew to make a pass through current closed aardvarks against approved std, to move items to SD-5 or interpretations when ready. Ongoing The changes in mail sequences 9818 and 9819 are being actioned into Draft 2 of the revision. Action AI-2006-06-01: Andrew to work out the full set of changes for recirculation for XSH ERN 132 OPEN Andrew reported on the IEEE ballot group format status. The ballot group invitation has now closed. Eligible Voters by Classification Classification Eligible Voters Prcent Academic 6 10.7% General Interest 22 39.3% Government/Military 0 0.0% Producer 8 14.3% User 20 35.7% Total 56 100.0% Since no one interest group has more than 50% of the ballot group it is a balanced group. The next step will be to initiate the ballot when the draft document is available. Aardvark Bug Reports -------------------- We picked up on the current aardvark http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/ XCU ERN 125 read backslash Open Action on Andrew to forward to Dave Korn for his input Andrew has now completed the action. Action carried forward from Sep 28 2006 meeting It was recognized that we need to add some additional normative text requiring that conforming implementations support conversion of pointers of any type to (void *) and back without loss of information The following changes should be made to XSH Section 2.12 2.12 -> Data Types Insert a new header level 3 entitled 2.12 -> 2.12.1 Defined Types with the existing text as is Insert a new header level 3 as follows: 2.12.2 The char type A type char is defined as a single byte, see XBD 3.84 and XBD 3.87 (byte and character definitions) Inset a new header level 3 as follows: 2.12.3 Pointer Types Conforming implementations shall support conversion of pointers of any type to (void *) and back without loss of information. Note: The ISO C standard does not require this, but it is required for POSIX conformance End of edits . We should produce a draft page and circulate to the austin-sep2006 mailing list. XSH ERN 162 sched_ss_repl_period and sched_ss_init_budget values returned from pthread_getschedparam() Accept as marked below This should go down the interpretations track. This is an unaddressed issue, no conformance between alternative behaviors, concerns are being referred to the sponsor. Notes to editors for a future revision (not part of the interpretations) Add additional sentence to p1076 TSP shaded para It is unspecified whether the sched_ss_repl_period and sched_ss_init_budget values are stored as provided by this call or are rounded to align with the resolution of the clock being used. XSH ERN 163 gethostbyaddr Accept (this has been acted upon in the revision) XSH ERN 164 list of atomic functions in 2.9.7 Accept as marked below On Page: 58 Line: 2400-2402 Section: 2.9.7 Add chown(), creat(), dup2(), fchown(), lchown(), link(), lstat(), pread(), pwrite(), readv(), rename(), truncate(), unlink(), utime(), utimes() and writev() to the list of atomic functions. and also add fchmodat, fchownat, fstatat, futimesat, linkat, openat, renameat unlinkat (note to editors It may be best to reformat the section as a table) On line 2402 change "when they operate on regular files" to "when they operate on regular files or symbolic links". XSH ERN 165 _PC_SOCK_MAXBUF delete symbol Accept XSH ERN 166 OPEN Next Steps ----------- Andrew will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound defect reports. Draft 2 of the revision is scheduled for October 31. Next teleconference meeting November 2nd 2006 See http://www.opengroup.org/austin/.
