    Problem Text




    The reference implementation (i.e. The Motif code provided by TOG) being

    tested is not in line with the standard specification for this Motif
    function as defined in the "OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference (Rel.
    1.2)".
    The assertion being tested is in line with the standard specification
    but the behavior of this function is not in line with the specification.

    Either the Motif reference implementation is at fault, or the
    Specification needs to be aligned with the reference implemenation. It
    is our understanding that Motif 1.2.X is no longer supported by TOG,
    hence we request this waiver be granted a Permanent Interpretation.

    Please see the sample code below for an explanation as to why the
    reference implementation is failing the test.

    int
    XmClipboardInquireFormat(
    Display *display, /* Display id of application inquiring
    */
    Window window,
    int n, /* Which format for this data item? */
    XtPointer buffer, /* Address of buffer to receive format
    name */
    unsigned long bufferlength, /* Length of the buffer */
    unsigned long *outlength ) /* Receives length copied to name
    buffer */
    {
    .
    status =3D ClipboardSuccess;
    .
    if ( _XmWeOwnSelection( display, header ) )
    {
    /* retrieve the matching format
    */
    matchformat =3D _XmClipboardFindFormat(display, header, 0,
    (itemId) NULL, n,
    &maxname, &count,
    &loc_matchlength );

    if ( matchformat !=3D 0 )
    {
    ptr =3D XmGetAtomName( display, matchformat->formatNameAtom )=
    ;

    _XmClipboardFreeAlloc( (char *) matchformat );
    }
    }




    .
    return status;
    }

    There is no "else" part to the "if ( matchformat !=3D 0 )" in
    XmClipboardInquireFormat().

    There should be an "else status =3D ClipboardNoData;". Otherwise notice
    that
    "status" remains as "ClipboardSuccess".

    Review Response
    We agree with the applicant and recommend that a TIN be granted
    on the basis of a misalignment between the spec and the reference
    implementation.

    Review Conclusion
    "A non-alignment between the reference code and its specification is
    under investigation. Thus it is recommended that a Temporary
    Interpretation be granted for this test while it remains subject to review.
    If a change to the specification results from the conclusion of this
    investigation, then this Temporary Interpretation will be converted
    to a Permanent Waiver. Otherwise this Temporary Interpretation will
    be converted to a Temporary Waiver (Minor System Fault)."
