| Description | _____________________________________________________________________________ COMMENT Enhancement Request Number 40 nick:xxxxxxxxxx Defect in XSH fmemopen (rdvk# 1) {NMS-24731-2-align} Thu, 4 Jun 2009 02:48:30 +0100 (BST) _____________________________________________________________________________ During the process of balloting the C language Technical Report on dynamic memory functions (TR 24731-2) a comment was recevied from Canada: Because this feature is only useful when the stream is opened for reading or updating" says that the feature is useful for reading. Given the buffer contents are not defined at that point, we need an example where reading would be useful (Ex. A bad random number generator seed). They also pointed out: "fmemopen call may fail if the mode argument does not include a +" contradicts the reading aspect of the Because this feature is only useful when the stream is opened for reading or updating" statement given + means update. They further suggested changing the text: Because this feature is only useful when the stream is opened for updating" The C committee is proposing to accept this change, but want to know if this should then be marked as a POSIX extension in some way (just as POSIX uses CX shading). | ||||
| Desired Action | Change Because this feature is only useful when the stream is opened for reading or updating" to Because this feature is only useful when the stream is opened for updating" | ||||

I think it is important to note that the reason this request was rejected is because the current text in the standard matches the text that was requested. Therefore, there is no need to make any change. |
