Practical C Programming, 3rd edition
by Steve Oualline


Here are the changes from the 4/98 reprint:


{43} in the box, replaced the final two lines with:

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
  '(lambda ()
     (define-key c-mode-map "\C-cb" 'c-begin-comment-box)
     (define-key c-mode-map "\C-ce" 'c-end-comment-box)
   )
)

(44, 45) reprinted for pagebreak

{65} added missing a closing curly bracket to last bit of code.

{69} 4th line from the bottom: changed 100 to 200

{74} para. 3: changed "curly braces" to "brackets", the "{}" in parens
to "[]", and "element" to "dimension

{76} added missing a closing curly bracket to 1st code example.

{101} 3rd line from bottom (not counting footnote): changed "cc" to
"gcc"

{102} changed:

$(CC) $(FLAGS) -o clac1 calc1.c

to:

$(CC) $(FLAGS) -o calc1 calc1.c

(124) In the figure: changed "nubmer" to "number".

{125} changed "centigrade" to "celsius" twice

{147} changed last line of next-to-last code to:

#endif /* DEBUG */

{148} put "UNDEF" in comment delimiters in last line of 1st code

{150} 2nd line: put _CONST_H_INCLUDED_ in comment delimiters

{163} added this footnote to the table (anchored at "Sign Bit(1)"):

The ANSI standard specifies that right shifts may be arithementic
(sign bit fill) or logical (zero bit fill).  Almost all compilers use
the arithmetic right shift.

{177} changed all the "#const"s to "const"

{189} example 13-2: changed line 4 to:

(*count_ptr)++;

{190} figure 13-5: second code between illustrations changed to:

void inc_count(int *count_ptr)

(241) added "Your results may vary." just before the example

{253} changed "part_number" to "point_number" in the last code block

{266} "+3.3000E+5 ". changed the +5 to +4

{267} item 3: changed "less than or equal to" to "greater than or
equal to"

{268} item 4: same fix as on previous page

{279} last para.: changed "item" to "node"

{280} figure 17-2: changed "item" to "node" , and the caption now says
"Node"

{284} changed

void add_list(in item)

to

void add_list(char *item)

{286} code line 7 was:

current_ptr = current_ptr->next;

is now:

current_ptr = (*current_ptr).next;

{330} Near the top, changed

  float data;

to

  float data[];

{346} in the last code related to "The , Operator", changed "three +=
2" to "three += 3"

{355} Changed "char_type" to "ch_type" in the last heading and next
line

{364, 365} fixed the lines that said "HARDSPACE" in them.  Here's the
(big) new code (not the whole program):

/*********************************************************
 * init_char_type -- initialize the char type table      *
 *********************************************************/
static void init_char_type(void)
{
    fill_range(0, 255, C_WHITE);

    fill_range('A', 'Z', C_ALPHA);
    fill_range('a', 'z', C_ALPHA);
    type_info['_'] = C_ALPHA;

    fill_range('0', '9', C_DIGIT);

    type_info['!'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['#'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['$'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['%'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['^'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['&'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['*'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['-'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['+'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['='] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['|'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['~'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info[','] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info[':'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['?'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['.'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['<'] = C_OPERATOR;
    type_info['>'] = C_OPERATOR;

    type_info['/'] = C_SLASH;
    type_info['\n'] = C_NEWLINE;

    type_info['('] = C_L_PAREN;
    type_info[')'] = C_R_PAREN;

    type_info['{'] = C_L_CURLY;
    type_info['}'] = C_R_CURLY;

    type_info['"'] = C_DOUBLE;
    type_info['\''] = C_SINGLE;
}

{391} item 4 in 1st table: put the "32" in the "Bits" column, and
shifted the following entries in that row to the right accordingly.

(426) the index entry for preprocessor had an extra a on the end.
