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: None. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): At page 1277 line 41977 change: past the last character converted (if any) to: past the last byte processed (if any) At page 1277 line 41986 change: ... limited to at most nmc bytes (the size of the input buffer). to (all within the CX shading): ... limited to at most nmc bytes (the size of the input buffer). If the input buffer ends with an incomplete character, it is unspecified whether conversion stops at the end of the previous character (if any), or at the end of the input buffer. In the latter case, a subsequent call to mbsnrtowcs() with an input buffer that starts with the remainder of the incomplete character shall correctly complete the conversion of that character. At line 1278 line 42008 change FUTURE DIRECTIONS from: None. to: A future version may require that when the input buffer ends with an incomplete character, conversion stops at the end of the input buffer. Bug 0000608: All input/output as if by fgetc()/fputc() is wrong for wide streams Accepted http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=608 Bug 0000616: mbsnrtowcs clarification Accepted http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=616 Next Steps ---------- The next call is on October 3.
