Table 2-4

The maximum value listed for a four byte unsigned int is shown as: 2,147,483,647.
That would be correct for a four byte signed int, but for a four byte unsigned int
the value should be: 4,294,967,295.

in the for loop after 2nd paragraph

the comparison in the for loop *p < myArray + A_SIZE compares between an integer and a pointer which is not the intended purpose here. It gives warning on gcc 4.1.0

it should be p < myArray + A_SIZE so that for loop ends when we reach past the end of myArray. No warning then as we compare pointer to a pointer.

The reader is correct. The example after the second paragraph on p. 114 should read:

There are four more functions that actually belong in Table 16-18. They are
declared in inttypes.h, so that the table should have another column on the right.
Furthermore, the paragraph introducing the table needs a couple more sentences to
introduce these functions.

These changes may be too extensive for the English version, but they have been
made in preparing the German version. Here is how the table and its introduction
should look, following on the existing sentence "The functions for char strings
are declared in the header stdlib.h, and those for wide strings in wchar.h.":


Four new functions introduced in C99, declared in inttypes.h, convert
a string into the widest available signed or unsigend integer type,
intmax_t or uintmax_t.

second paragraph

Example 19-4 will never build symbols.
make to stderr: "make: Nothing to be done for 'symbols'.

I'm just a beginner with programming so I tried it on three different computers with
three different linux distributions (mandrake 8.2 lfs 6.2 and mandrake 10.1). Typed
in the example by hand and copied and pasted it from Safari.

As far as I can see the problem is with: SYMTABS = $(OBJ .o=.sym). It doesn't expand
to the proper value.
Also, in the book on page 523, second to last paragraph, it says:
$(name: ending=new_ending). Please note the colon. It is different in the example
(=without colon).

Adapting the example like : SYMTABS = $(OBJ: .o=.sym) also does not work.
When I just say: SYMTABS = circle.sym circulararea.sym it works properly.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The problem is that the missing colon in the variable reference with substitution has become a space, which the syntax does not allow.

Line 10 in Example 19-4 should read:

SYMTABS = $(OBJ:.o=.sym)

with no space inside the parentheses.

Furthermore, the syntax line before the last paragraph on p. 523 should read:

$(name:ending=new_ending)

again with no space inside the parentheses.

Change this:
"such recursions still run parallel to the present instance, unless their makefiles also contain"
to this:
"the new instance of make still executes commands in parallel, unless its makefile also contains"

example at the top of the page, last three lines of the example

In the third to last line of the example, change "21" to "27", and
In the last line of the example, change "14" to "16".
The resulting three lines:

1 breakpoint keep y 0x004010e7 in swap at gdb_example.c:27
ignore next 5 hits
3 breakpoint del n 0x004010c0 in main at gdb_example.c:16
