This was discussed during the 2016-08-25 teleconference. We ran out of
time before finishing the conversation, so we'll pick it up again next
week. For our notes, see http://po...@posix.rhansen.org:9001/p/2016-08-25
(password: 2115756#).
Regarding the default value srand() uses if one isn't provided: We cannot
change the default value for Issue 7 because that would be a requirements
change that would break existing applications. Changing it for Issue 8
might be appropriate, but that would have to be addressed in a separate bug
report because this bug report is tagged tc3-2008. (We are considering
adding a "future directions" note for this bug report to let implementation
and application authors know that we might be changing the requirements in
this area.)
Regarding the range issue: For this bug report we can say that a value
between 0 and 2^31-1 (inclusive) shall be supported and any other value has
unspecified behavior. For Issue 8 we could expand the range or say
something more specific, but that would have to be addressed in a separate
bug report.
