He will be circulating a draft of the frontmatter for the TC early next week. * Old Business +Bug 0000561: NUL-termination of sun_path in Unix sockets OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=561 Eric has an action to update the proposal. +Bug 0000573: Please add '+' to the portable filename character set OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=573 Joerg has an action to prepare a proposed change. +Bug 0000592: consistent use of struct timespec OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=592 This item needs further investigation of existing implementations. Mark reported that AIX does not have a problem with this. Jim notes he is still looking at this. +Bug 0000598: OH shading and new interfaces OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=598 Eric has an action to propose a new solution with self-contained headers. Bug 0000576: No format specifiers for several types OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=576 Bug 0000599: Reserved "no thread" value for pthread_t A/M Issue 8 Bug 0000517: EBNF support OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=517 It was agreed that we need Joerg's input on this item and have left it open for now. Andrew took an action on the 12 September call to notify Joerg (completed after the meeting). * Current Business We discussed mail sequence 18496 from Mike Wilson. Mark Brown took an action to reply to that email . Mark's reply is as follows: There are actually a lot of implementation files with "+" in the name (C++ tools, things in terminfo, etc), which is the incentive for adding "+" to the portable set. I don't think there is a need to create a new reserved namespace around the character though. Joerg took an action to look again at 573 within the next two weeks. Bug 0000633: SIGEV_THREAD delivery renders many signal interfaces unsafe OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=633 This item was again left open pending further feedback. Bug 0000659: Remove the requirement that timer_t be an arithmetic type OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=659 Geoff took an action to propose wording changes. Bug 0000658: Undefined/unspecified behavior clauses in description of open have race conditions OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=658 This was discussed. It was noted that O_NONBLOCK was already fixed in bug 0000141. Eric took an action to work on wording for the remaining three flags. Bug 0000657: Conditions under which fmemopen() write a NUL to the buffer are insufficiently specified OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=657 This was discussed. It was agreed that we need to know what existing implementations do before a recommendation can be made. It is likely we have diverging implementations. We likely need some test code. To be continued next time.
