This hint is outdating itself. It might be a good idea to
phrase it time-independent...
That is a direct quote from ISO and will continue to be true until it is not:
Status Proceed 40.99 Full report circulated: DIS approved for registration as
FDIS - awaiting Approval Registration 50.00 Final text received or FDIS
registered for formal approval - expected to take about 6 more months perhaps,
based on 9899 C timeline 2024-05-05..2024-10-31?
I await making the change final (or dropping it), without holding my breath:
I see Austin Group Bugs & ML & JTC 1/SC 22 feeds.
Even IEEE got on board with minimal editorializing.
ISO has a lot of editorial rules to meet - they seem to have standardized the
requirements for standards committees - I wonder if that has an ISO number ;^>
<sect1 id="std-iso"><title>System interfaces not in POSIX but compatible with ISO C
requirements:</title>
<screen>
- aligned_alloc (ISO C11)
- at_quick_exit (ISO C11)
- c16rtomb (ISO C11)
- c32rtomb (ISO C11)
c8rtomb (ISO C23)
Did they really miss to standarize c8rtomb/mbrtoc8 as well? I guess C23 was too
fresh... ;)
Not really, so I too was disappointed, but they want to see widespread support
before committing, and perhaps some were not likely to agree?
