Bug 1832: Add preadv() and pwritev()
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1832 OPEN
Based on feedback from Philip Guenther in email sequence #37374,
we changed our comment on this proposal during the 2024-06-06 meeting
to:
Given that all versions of read and write operations in the
standard have been cancellation points for as long as threads were
present, saying that pread() and pwrite() are no longer required
to be cancellation points would mean applications that are depending
on them to act on a pending cancellation would have to be changed
to perform their own cancellation point processing (calling
pthread_testcancel()) when performing these operations. Furthermore,
all known implementations of these functions have made them
cancellation points. Given that preadv() and pwritev() are logically
equivalent to pread() and pwrite(), we believe that they should
also be cancellation points.
Action: EricB to ask The Open Group to sponsor this change for issue 9.
1797: strftime "%s" should be able to examine tm_gmtoff OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1797
