Errata

Many of the errors have been fixed in subsequent printings of the book. Earlier versions of this page indicated the errors applicable to each printing. Unfortunately, the publisher managed to reintroduce some errors that had been corrected between the third and the fourth printing. From that point onward I lost track of the printing where each error was corrected.

p. xxviii

Addision-Wesley should of course read Addison-Wesley.
Spotted by Scott Meyers.

p. 33

Numbered element 1 should read

Optarg will point to the argument of -t.

instead of

Noted by Chris Dunlap, meta-corrected by Tim Heaney.

Fortran implementations are free to select short-circuit evaluation of boolean expressions (like Java, C, C++, and Perl), or to evaluate all the expression's elements (like Pascal and many Basic dialects).

p. 53

Second paragraph, fourth sentence. It should read

When performing arithmetic on unsigned integers, read ...

Noted by Paul Hankin.

    else
    if (!(process(k) == 0))
        botch(__STRING(process(k) == 0));

(the existing code uses process(l) in the first expanded instance).
Spotted by Vassilios Karakoidas.

p. 190, 191

The arrows in Figures 6.7 and 6.8 should point in the opposite direction. The UML 1.5 specification was not entirely clear, but UML 2.0 leaves no doubt. The corresponding dependency example in Figure 1.2 is also drawn in the opposite way round. Here is the correct Figure 6.7 and the correct Figure 6.8.

	}
	return cConnection;
    }

Noted by Arjen Markus.
