Test result code of UNRESOLVED is too restrictive. Lines 463-464
|
|||
|
|
require that UNRESOLVED test result codes shall resolve to one of
|
|||
|
|
the other test codes before a statement of compliance is made.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For a (B) assertion, this means that UNRESOLVED must go to PASS, or
|
|||
|
|
UNTESTED. Since UNTESTED and UNRESOLVED contridict each other,
|
|||
|
|
UNRESOLVEs must resolve to PASS. This is not acceptible since a
|
|||
|
|
test can result in UNRESOLVE because "Setup for the assertion test
|
|||
|
|
failed".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If a PCTS requires target system support facilities to setup for a
|
|||
|
|
test, and the facilities do not exist, then using the above
|
|||
|
|
rational, the assertion test can go to UNRESOLVE. In this
|
|||
|
|
situation, the only way to get a statement of complience is to
|
|||
|
|
implement system support facilities, retest, and get a PASS. This
|
|||
|
|
is to restrictive.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Required Action:
|
|||
|
|
Add a test result code of UNTESTABLE with the following definition:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
UNTESTABLE - An assertion test resulted in an UNRESOLVED test result
|
|||
|
|
code. After careful examinition, it is discovered that the test
|
|||
|
|
can not be resolved to PASS because the system being tested
|
|||
|
|
lacks optional target system support facilities that would
|
|||
|
|
be required to setup for the assertion test.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the chart on page 26, add the UNTESTABLE test result code to all
|
|||
|
|
cells.

Assertions 30 and 31 are classified incorrectly. Since there is no
|
|||
|
|
portable way of creating an executable file with either the S_ISUID,
|
|||
|
|
or S_ISGID mode bits set, defining these as (A) assertions is
|
|||
|
|
inappropriate.
|

|

|

Required Action:
|
|||
|
|
Change assertions 30 and 31 to (B) or (D) assertions.

Assertions 3, 4, 6 are classified incorrectly. Since there is no

portable way of modifying a process' list of supplementary group
|

ID's, testing the information returned by this call is questionable

if _SC_NGROUPS_MAX is greater than zero. Since there is no portable

way to set the number of supplementary group id's in a process,

verifying that the information returned by getgroups() is correct

Assertion 8 is classified incorrectly. Since there is no portable

way of causing the underlying directory to be read, there is no way

Assertion 14 is based on an incorrect assumption. This assertion is
|
|||
|
|
based on the assumption that creating a directory causes the link
|
|||
|
|
count of the parent directory to be incremented. This is not always
|
|||
|
|
the case, and is certainly not required POSIX.1 functionality. The
|
|||
|
|
link count bias occurs in UNIX systems due to the ".." entry created
|
|||
|
|
in the new directory. Implementations that support the ".."
|
|||
|
|
concept, but that do not actually create an entry for ".." do not
|
|||
|
|
cause the link count of the parent directory to be incremented. The
|
|||
|
|
description of readdir() allows for directories that contain no
|
|||
|
|
entry for "..", and therefore do not cause the link count in the
|
|||
|
|
parent directory to be incremented.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Required Action:
|
|||
|
|
Change assertion 14 to 14(C) and make it read as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If {_POSIX_LINK_MAX} <= {LINK_MAX} <= {PCTS_LINK_MAX} and if
|
|||
|
|
creating a directory causes the link count of the directory in which
|
|||
|
|
path1 is to be created to be incremented:
|
|||
|
|
When {LINK_MAX} links to the directory in which path1 is to be
|
|||
|
|
created already exist, then a call to mkdir(path1,mode) returns
|
|||
|
|
a value of ((int)-1), sets errno to [EMLINK], and no directory
|
|||
|
|
is created.

Assertions 4 and 5 are classified incorrectly. Since there is no

portable way of creating a character special file or a block special

file, there is no portable way to test these assertions.
