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
|
|
can not be done portably.
|
|
|
|
Required Action:
|
|
Change assertions 3, 4, and 6 to (B) or (D) assertions.

Assertion 8 is classified incorrectly. Since there is no portable
|
|
way of causing the underlying directory to be read, there is no way
|
|
to test when the st_atime field of the directory should be marked
|
|
for update.
|
|
|
|
Required Action:
|
|
Change assertion 8 (B) or (D) assertions.

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.
|
|
|
|
Required Action:
|
|
Change assertions 4 and 5 to (B) or (D) assertions.
