    Problem Text
    Open CAE Specification
    System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 4
    1.3.4 Enhanced Internationalisation

    "An implementation that claims conformance to this Feature Group shall
    set {_XOPEN_ENH_I18N} to a value other than -1. An implementation
    that does not claim conformance to this Feature Group shall set
    {_XOPEN_ENH_I18N} to -1."

    An implementation can provide their own (nonconforming) version of
    enhanced internationalisation features, provided {_XOPEN_ENH_I18N}
    is set to -1.

    Although {_XOPEN_ENH_I18N} is set to -1, the above mentioned tests
    continue to call strptime or wcsftime. The tests expect the functions
    return ENOSYS (This function is not implemented). It is not always true
    that when an implementation that does not claim conformance to this
    Feature Group also do not implement the enhanced internationalization
    features.

    Review Type TSMA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    The K/RT working group have recently recommended that an implementation
    which sets _XOPEN_ENH_I18N to -1 may provide versions of the interfaces
    in the enhanced internationalisation group which do not provide the full
    XSH described functionality and do not indicate an ENOSYS error.

    In the light of this recommendation, a permanent interpretation is recommended.

    Review Type SA Review
