D Unleashed - The Blooper List


The CD-ROM



Type Program or File Error Fix/Workaround Reported By
Installation DJGPP The installation program doesn't copy stubify.exe to the right place. Copy stubify.exe from the CD-ROM's "Software Library\DJGPP\EXTRACT\BIN" directory to the BIN directory in your DJGPP installation (typically c:\djgpp\bin) I first encountered this problem in Sams's "Data Structures and Algorithms in 24 Hours" copy of DJGPP, so I worked out a fix then. I hit it again with this CD, and didn't quite get around to posting the fix here, when an email from ahd323 at look.ca was forwarded to me asking for a fix. I've sent him details of the fix, but of course I should have posted it here too. Well, now I have done so. Update 3 Nov 2000 - I just discovered from my email history that Jack Klein noticed this too, in mid-September.
Idempotency (lack of) sllist.h sllist.h uses size_t but doesn't actually include any headers which define it. More of a style thing than anything else. But Chris is right to complain. I am so used to including standard headers before local headers that I guess it never occurred to me that anyone would do it any other way. Anyway - the fix is to include stddef.h in sllist.h but the workaround (if you're using the file straight from the CD, or whatever) is to include any ISO C Standard header that defines size_t before sllist.h.

Dead code cups.h (Windows version) Useless prototype: int CUPSEndServer(void); This prototype is not required, and doesn't have either an implementation or a matching analog in the Unix header. Dead code. Delete from writable versions, if you care enough. Chad Dixon
