* Bugzilla

The previous meeting was to consider moving the bug reporting from
aardvark to Bugzilla. Those who attended the meeting concluded that
we do need to move in that direction.
The next step is to define the workflow, from when an aardvark report
is opened to closing it, including the fork to become an interpretation.

Mark agreed to take an action to generate a workflow.

* Aardvark

We picked up on the aardvark reports, which are located at
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/

* 2008 aardvarks

Andrew updated the defect reports during the call.

XSHbug3 ERN 15 Accept as Marked

We rediscussed the item. 
Last time we had agreed that a future revision should mandate
posix_spawn() and add that to the list of async-signal-safe functions.
However concerns have now been raised about whether posix_spawn() can be used.

We agreed not to progress an interpretation, and noted in the aardvark
that there was no consensus on the recommendations for a future direction.

XSHbug3 ERN 20 fscanf OPEN

Nick is progressing a proposal with WG14.
This is left open for now.

XSHbug3 ERN 23 ungetc Accept
XSHbug3 ERN 24 strtod Accept
XSHbug3 ERN 25 timer_getoverrun Reject

This aardvark request was rejected since time_getoverrun() is only defined
if the expiration causes signals to be generated.

timer_setoverrun() reports the number of signals not generated because
of overruns. When threads are used instead of signals, a thread will
be created for each event, independent of whether prior threads
handling these events have started or completed.


XCUbug2 ERN 185 more -e Accept

Send down the interps track . The standard is unclear on this issue, and
no conformance distinction can be made between alternative implementations
based on this. This is being referred to the sponsor.

(In the 2008 edition std p2943 lines 96840-96845)

Action: Andrew ask Dave Korn , regarding time (Don's action)
