I was working on bringing audio/liboggz up to date in ports, but hit a snag. liboggz expects timezone information to be long, which is (I am told) in accordance with SUSv3. FreeBSD is appears to be returning char*. I asked about this in #bsdports and was told that it appears that FreeBSD is wrong in this case and should be fixed. I saw no mention of this as a known issue on the standards webpage.

FreeBSD has never targeted conformance to any version of SUS, which memorializes a large number of UNIX System V's historic mistakes. We do target conformance to POSIX (IEEE Std. 1003.1-2008 is the current version). In the POSIX specification, the declarations of "timezone" and "daylight" in are flagged as "XSI", meaning that they are part of the X/Open System Interfaces extension, which in turn means that they are part of SUS but not POSIX. -GAWollman From ertr1013 at student.uu.se Mon Nov 9 20:05:30 2009 From: ertr1013 at student.uu.se (Erik Trulsson) Date: Mon Nov 9 20:05:36 2009 Subject: timezone: long vs char* In-Reply-To: <19192.17354.890527.943635@khavrinen.csail.mit.edu> References: <4AF7651F.20703@gmail.com> <19192.17354.890527.943635@khavrinen.csail.mit.edu> Message-ID: <20091109194642.GA23966@owl.midgard.homeip.net> On Mon, Nov 09, 2009 at 11:31:06AM -0500, Garrett Wollman wrote: > < said: > > > Hello.

Well, these days the SUS and POSIX standards are pretty much the same thing. > > In the POSIX specification, the declarations of "timezone" and > "daylight" in are flagged as "XSI", meaning that they are > part of the X/Open System Interfaces extension, which in turn means > that they are part of SUS but not POSIX. If the POSIX specification specifies them they are very much part of POSIX, but in this particular case an optional part of POSIX. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se From bugmaster at FreeBSD.org Mon Nov 16 11:07:02 2009 From: bugmaster at FreeBSD.org (FreeBSD bugmaster) Date: Mon Nov 16 11:09:32 2009 Subject: Current problem reports assigned to freebsd-standards@FreeBSD.org Message-ID: <200911161107.nAGB71FW011303@freefall.freebsd.org> Note: to view an individual PR, use: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=(number).
