Five bug reports were currently open against it and were reviewed on the call (see later). We will be able to start progressing this towards its ballot soon. - Update to Austin Group Maintenance Procedures Following on from the change on handling Closed and Resolved bugs a proposed update to the Austin Group Maintenance Procedures had been drafted. The draft text was at https://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_112r4.txt This was approved. It was agreed that this document should become a standing document. Action: Andrew make Austin/112r4 into a Standing Document and update the document register and web site links. This was completed and the standing document reference is SD6 http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_sd6.txt - IEEE balloting categories Andrew reported on a change to IEEE balloting. Previously to have a balanced ballot group no one category could be more than 50% of the group. This has now been changed to 33%. IEEE is recommending that a minimum of 5 categories are used. Action: Andrew to locate the full list of categories. * Old Business Bug 0000529: fildes unspecified on close()'s [EINTR] Re-OPENED http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=529 Eric has completed his action and will report at the next meeting. *New business We started on the TC1-2008 bugs Bug 0000547: XSH/TC1/D4/0399 does not match bug 421 Accepted http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=547 Bug 0000548: Bug 538 has not been applied Accepted http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=548 Bug 0000549: Wrong URL in XSH/TC1/D4/0252 accepetd http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=549 Bug 0000550: Part of XSH/TC1/D4/0013 not applied in merge Accepted http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=550 Bug 0000554: Five(?) clarifications of the informal regex descriptions OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=554 This item was moved from TC1-2008 to [1003.1(2008)/Issue 7] Base Definitions and Headers We discussed the next steps for TC1. Nick agreed to contact the ANSI secretrariat for SC22 to let them know about a pending TC. (completed after the meeting) Andrew needs to ensure all the Mandatory Editorial Coordination items have been completed in preparation for the IEEE balloting. Bug 0000516: Calling longjmp() from a signal handler Accepted as Marked http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=516 Geoff had completed his action from the previous meeting. This item is tagged for TC2-2008. An interpretation is required. Interpretation response: 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. Rationale: The restrictions on using longjmp() and siglongjmp() are more restrictive than they need to be on POSIX systems. The loosened restrictions presented here do not break existing implementations and make it easier for application writers to create portable applications. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): Make the changes presented in Note: 0001195 Bug 0000519: Add to make macro variable pattern substitution (expansion), e.g., $(foo:%.o=%.c) OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=519 Joerg has submitted a proposal in bugnote 1196 which was discussed on the call. There was general consensus with the approach although further refinement of the wording is needed. Next Steps ---------- The next call is on April 19 and will continue processing defect reports. This call will be for the regular 90 minutes. http://austingroupbugs.net See the calendar for the list of dialup numbers.
