0001326: Superfluous punctuations
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1326
0001335: Missing newline or BR element on fstatat() page
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1335
Regular items:
0001304: Align c99 -o with reality, the standard should not be more restrictive
than implementations Accepted as marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1304
This item was reopened.
Reopening because the changes in Note: 0004715 clash with the -o
changes in bug 0001294. Also, a needed change to the DESCRIPTION
was missed.
New proposed changes...
On page 2542 line 82232 section c99, change:
If the -c option is specified, for all pathname operands
to:
If the -c option is specified and the -o option is not specified,
for all pathname operands
On page 2543 line 82297-82298 section c99, after applying bug 1294 change:
Name the output file to be produced. If the -o option is present
with -c or -E, the result is unspecified.
to:
Name the output file to be produced. If the -o option is present
with -E, or with -c and more than one input file, the result
is unspecified.
When creating a single object file (by using -c with a single
input file), use the pathname outfile, instead of the default
file.o, for the object file produced.
Add the following new paragraphs to Rationale after P2551, L82609:
<tt>c99 -c -o ...</tt> is frequently used to directly place the
.o file into an alternative directory without a need to separately
rename the output file. This helps to support concurrent
compilations and out of tree builds.
Some implementations allow -c -o directory to produce
directory/file.o even when there is more than one input file;
however, portable applications using -c with -o must compile
only one file at a time and must specify the final destination
filename rather than a directory.
0001330: Remove some of the OB shaded text Accepted
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1330
0001327: flags should be ai_flags. Accepted

0001331: pax atime and mtime keyword descriptions should refer to st_atim and
st_mtim Accepted
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1331
0001328: posix_spawn lacks use of restrict Accepted
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1328
0001321: exit status for false should be 1-125 Accepted
