Minutes of the 28 May 2015 Teleconference Austin-710 Page 1 of 1 Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group. 29 May 2015 Attendees: Andrew Josey, The Open Group Don Cragun, IEEE PASC OR Joerg Schilling, FOKUS Fraunhofer Nick Stoughton, USENIX, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22 OR Mark Ziegast, SHware Systems Geoff Clare, The Open Group Eric Blake, Red Hat Richard Hansen, BBN (partial) David Clissold, IBM Roger Faulkner, Oracle, The Open Group OR Apologies Martin Rehak, Oracle * General news We discussed the bridge use as for the past two weeks David has been using the line prior to the call. This is not intended to be a regular occurrence, but we should respect phone etiquette and try to dialin just on the hour. Andrew reported he had received a further question on the PAR, although it seems more procedural about ballot group formation and hence not directly relevant. Andrew is also discussing the comments with IEEE staff liaison and Joe Gwinn. * Outstanding actions ( Please note that I have flushed this section to shorten the minutes - to locate the last set of outstanding actions, look to the minutes from 26 Feb 2015) Bug 0000887: printf and other functions appear many times in search results OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=887 Andrew is investigating. Bug 0000900: add qsort_r OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=900 The consensus was that its a good idea to add the suggested interface. The usual requirements regarding a sponsor for a new interface apply. Action: Open Group OR , to ask the Base WG if they wish to sponsor the additional qsort interface proposed here. Bug 0000901: reserve _POSIX* shell option namespace for future use OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=901 The forward plan for this bug remains as before: Richard: file a new bug report with a concrete feature that would use the _POSIX* namespace (as motivation for reserving set -o _POSIX*) All: debate the proposed feature. If it's something we want, then revisit bug #901. If not, close bug #901. Bug 0000922: Implementations should be allowed to change/remove implementation-defined environment variables OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=922 This item remains open. Action on Eric: propose wording for Issue 8 to add secure_getenv(), and make it clear that deleting from environment without explicit request is not compliant, but ignoring is fine. For Issue 7 TC 2: Create new bug to add additional conditions on what makes TMPDIR valid, vs. undefined behavior; also add future directions to getenv() to mention secure_getenv() * Current Business Bug #884: require sh to set IFS to on startup http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=884#c2678 It was noted that there had been some discussion on this bug we need to consider whether to re-open it. 0000934: Requirement for zeroing the sockaddr_in and sockaddr_un structures. Accepted as marked http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=934 An interpretation has been circulated, and some concerns have been raised on the list. A lengthy discussion occurred in the meeting and proposed changes not yet agreed were developed on the etherpad. Bug #940: all 0 bits should be a null pointer on POSIX systems OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=940 This was also discussed and proposed changes are being developed in the etherpad.
