Andrew took an action to produce a similar report for the PASC SEC. * Current Business Bug 1122: POSIX should include gettext() and friends OPEN and https://posix.rhansen.org/p/gettext_draft Also https://austingroupbugs.net/file_download.php?file_id=64&type=bug Geoff's addition to XRAT appendix E was noted. A new PDF will be needed, but we will wait for more comments first. To be discussed again when more comments are raised. Bug 1560: clarify wording of command substitution https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1560 Leave this and related bugs 1561 and 1564 open awaiting reviews/discussion. Bug 1273: glob()'s GLOB_ERR/errfunc and non-directory files OPEN https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1273 We will leave this open awaiting feedback. Bug 1271: clock_nanosleep() TIMER_ABSTIME: if rmtp is non-NULL, set it to clock_id's time value when returning. Rejected https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1271 See https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2019-08/msg00412.html for answer to Eric B's question. While we agree that this sounds like a reasonable request (using a new flag), without a reference implementation there isn't anything for us to standardize at this time. The discussion referenced in bugnote:4522 raises several questions that have not been answered in the last three years. This bug is therefore rejected. If an implementation is created, please file a new bug with details of the changes and a pointer to a reference implementation. Bug 1254: "asynchronous list" description uses "command" instead of "AND-OR list" Accepted as Marked https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1254 This item is tagged for Issue 8. 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: Various aspects of asynchronous lists and job control are insufficiently specified in the standard. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): Make the changes in Note: 0005845 Bug 1228: allow shells to exclude "." and ".." from pathname expansions Accepted as Marked https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1228 This item is tagged for Issue 8. On draft 2.1 page 2353 line 76183 section 2.13.3, after: <blockquote>it shall be matched against existing filenames and pathnames, as appropriate.</blockquote> add: <blockquote>If directory entries for dot and dot-dot exist, they may be ignored.</blockquote> On draft 2.1 page 2353 line 76205 section 2.13.3, add (at the end of item 3): <blockquote><small>Note: A future version of this standard may require that directory entries for dot and dot-dot are ignored (if they exist) when matching patterns against existing filenames. For example, when expanding <b>.*</b> the result would not include dot and dot-dot.</small></blockquote> Bug 1219: snprintf reequirement to fail when n > INT_MAX conflicts with C Open https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1219 We will continue with this item next time.
