Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to SG3 working draft.

  1. Change [fs.op.remove] as indicated:

    Effects: If exists(symlink_status(p,ec)), itp is removed as if by POSIX remove().

[ 2014-02-13 LWG/SG-3 Issaquah: Insufficient consensus for change. Vote for NAD: 9 0 0 2 1. ]

Date: 2016-01-31.20:31:05

Addresses: filesys.ts

The specification can be read to require the existence test. As this introduces a race, the existence test must not happen.

Change to: "Effects: p is removed as if by POSIX remove()."
