Bug 0000249: Add standard support for $'...' in shell Reopened
http://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=249
We will return to bug 249 on a future call.
Bug 0000953: Alias expansion is under-specified Was Accepted as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=953
Richard has an action to propose new wording to discuss in a future telecon.
* Current Business
Bug 1041: Encourage implementations to include better integrity checksum,
compression and decompression utilities if possible. OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1041
We added proposed changes for cksum to the bug, and Nick took
an action to propose changes for compress/uncompress/zcat
Bug 0001042: Behavior of break, continue, exit and return are undefined if
invoked from a multi-stage pipeline. Rejected
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1042
This was discussed in the March 23, 2017 teleconference and the
consensus was to reject based on Note: 0003120
The last paragraph of XCU Section 2.12 Shell Execution Environment
(P2354, L74999-75006) says:
A subshell environment shall be created as a duplicate of the
shell environment, except that signal traps that are not being
ignored shall be set to the default action. Changes made to the
subshell environment shall not affect the shell environment.
Command substitution, commands that are grouped with parentheses,
and asynchronous lists shall be executed in a subshell environment.
Additionally, each command of a multi-command pipeline is in a
subshell environment; as an extension, however, any or all
commands in a pipeline may be executed in the current environment.
All other commands shall be executed in the current shell
environment.
I would think it would be obvious that a break in a subshell can't
break out of a loop that is not in the same shell execution
environment. Similarly, exit exits from the subhsell environment;
not the parent shell and the results of using return when you are
not in a shell execution environment running a function or a dot
script is unspecified.
Bug 0001043: Which newline starts collection of here document data? OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1042
Left open because it is related to 1036 and 1037, which are
pending Joerg's action
Bug 0001044: Calling setsid as part of posix_spawn OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1044
We agreed that a POSIX_SPAWN_SETSID flag is a worthwhile
addition, and Geoff took an action to propose wording
