| Factual | 839 | Dr. Ian D. K. Kelly | Ian has pointed out to me that he is not a doctor. |
| Technical | 841 | Ian mentions "the definitive K&R" - in fact, the ISO/EIC Standard is definitive. | I don't think this needs to be corrected - Ian was, IMHO, just being opinionated. ;-) |
| Typographical | 842 | Bakus | Should be Backus |
| Typographical | 845 | "other that single quote" | Should be "other than single quote" |
| Typographical | 849 | "This means that things like identifier are sought only once." | "identifier" should be italicised - thus: "This means that things like identifier are sought only once." |
| Technical | 855 and following pages | The source code doesn't work. | This is known to be a problem, but no fix is yet available. Ian Kelly is working on this, and the corrected source code will be published as a zip file on this page, as soon as it's available. Ian and I offer our apologies for this situation, which we are doing our best to correct as soon as possible. Update 3 Nov 2000: Ian emailed me to complain that he's not a doctor (the above erratum had read "Dr Kelly") - sorry, Ian; perhaps the mistake wouldn't have arisen if you didn't wear that stethoscope quite so often... (Actually, the mistake derived from the Ch 19 title page, which I erroneously assumed was correct. Are you still sure you want to be an author?) |
