Bug 1120: Permit access to static storage objects from signal handlers if synchronization is guaranteed by use of the signal mask Rejected http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1120 On the August 2, 2018 conference call, it was noted this would be an extension to the C standard without existing practice. If practice emerges that demonstrates that this concept can be implemented reliably this issue may be reintroduced, but presently we cannot approve this enhancement. The submitter is encouraged to raise this matter with implementers so that this practice can be developed. Bug 1121: is the stat data undefined for dangling symlinks, without FTW_PHYS? OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1121 We discussed this bug, and will pick it up again next time. Notes are in the etherpad.
