Looking at Bugnote 1313. It was agreed that was correct, and we should update bugnote 1310 (for item 3). -- In response to item 3: Change p. 188, lines 6082-6083 from: The interpretation of an ordinary character preceded by a ('\\') is undefined. to: The interpretation of an ordinary character preceded by an unescaped ('\\') is undefined, except in the context of a bracket expression (see XREF to ERE bracket expression). Also for BRE (page 183 line 5875), change: The interpretation of an ordinary character preceded by a (’\\’) is undefined, except for: to The interpretation of an ordinary character preceded by an unescaped (’\\’) is undefined, except for: Also, at page 195, line 6381, change: ORD_CHAR preceded by a character to ORD_CHAR preceded by an unescaped character -- We then discussed bugnote 1314 revising Item 2 (in bugnote 1309) In response to item 2: At both p. 184, line 5984-5896 AND p. 189, line 6106-6109 of POSIX.1-2008 change The shall be special when used as: - An anchor (see Section XXX on page YYY) - The first character of a bracket expression (see Section AAA on page BBB) to The shall be special when used as an anchor (see Section XXX, on page YYY).

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: None. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): At p 334 line 11164 Change the "Value" for "int si_status" to If si_code is equal to CLD_EXITED, then si_status holds the least significant eight bits of the exit value of the process (with the remaining bits unspecified); otherwise, it is equal to the signal that caused the process to change state. [Note that the text proposed is a modified version of text from Solaris. Action: Andrew to followup with Oracle regarding use of copyrighted text from the Solaris manual pages] Next Steps ---------- The next call is on August 2 and will continue processing defect reports.
