| Summary | 0001414: rewind() clears the error indicator, but when? | ||||
| Description | rewind() is defined to be (void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET) (line 90114): except that rewind() shall also clear the error indicator. That's fine, as it stands, but nothing here says whether the error indicator is cleared before, or after, the fseek() call (or whatever equivalent code the implementation uses in its stead). This matters if the fseek() call sets the error indicator, which it can do. Now we all know that the error indicator (after a rewind()) is always clear, so it must be cleared after the fseek() (or equivalent) happens. But what "we all know" is not in the standard, and should be. | ||||
| Desired Action | In line 90114 (quoted in the description) insert the word "subsequently" between the words "also" and "clear" to produce: except that rewind() shall also subsequently clear the error indicator. | ||||

The text in question is derived directly from C99, so we should liaise with the C committee on this issue. |

Proposed wording: On page 1821 line 59014 change: except that rewind() shall also clear the error indicator. to: except rewind() shall also ensure the error indicator is clear when the function returns. |
