Bug 1021: fwprintf EOVERFLOW Accepted as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1021

An interpretation is required.

Interpretation response:

The standard states the requirements for the error handling for the
wprintf family of functions, and conforming implementations must conform
to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being
referred to the sponsor.

Rationale:
None.

Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):

On (2016 edition) page 915 line 31020 section fprintf() change:
    If an output error was encountered
to:
    If an error was encountered

On (2016 edition) page 998 line 33977 section fwprintf() change:
    if an output error was encountered
to:
    if an error was encountered

On (2016 edition) page 998 line 33982 add:
    [EOVERFLOW]
        [CX] The value to be returned is greater than {INT_MAX}.[/CX]

On (2016 edition) page 999 line 33988 change:
    The value of n is greater than {INT_MAX} or the number of bytes needed to hold the output excluding the terminating null is greater than {INT_MAX}.
to:
    The value of n is greater than {INT_MAX}.
