Bug 1243: newlocale(3) wording unintentionally permits ignoring the "base" argument Accepted as Marked http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1243 This item was closed at the last meeting, although Mark raised a concern. The issue being: Where is it specified what is the "default locale" for the purposes of the interface, after setlocale() may be called to switch from POSIX as default locale upon app startup? We agreed that the matter should be filed as a separate bug report. Bug 1244: ident string lifetime not specified Accepted as Marked http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1244 This item is tagged for TC3-2008. 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): On page 695 line 23775 section closelog(), change: The ident argument is a string that is prepended to every message. to: The ident argument is a pointer to a null-terminated identifier that shall be prepended (without the null terminator) to every message. The application shall ensure that the string pointed to by ident remains valid during the syslog() calls that will prepend this identifier; however, it is unspecified whether changes made to the string will change the identifier prepended by later syslog() calls.
