Errata for first printing of the book
Page 190. Example 7.14 - The formatting is broken, it should look more like:
(*((void(*)())dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "exit")))(status);
}
double sin(double x) {
Page 186 Example 7.8 - The flag needs to be in quotes to avoid being interpreted by the shell
$ cc -o myapp -L. '-R$ORIGIN/../lib' -lmylib myapp.c
Page 335. Typo: "achive" should be "achieve".
Page 400. Example 12.28 is missing the following code:
#include <limits.h>
Clarifications
page 399.
"This minimum stack size is held in the PTHREAD_STACK_MIN constant, which is defined in limits.h."
Actually PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is a macro which is declared in limits.h as:
#define PTHREAD_STACK_MIN ((size_t)_sysconf(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN))
It is available when limits.h is included and also the code is compiled with _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L (or greater) - meaning that the code requires at least POSIX.1c. To get all possible compatible extensions enabled __EXTENSIONS__ can be defined on the compile line. More details on standards can be found in the man pages (`man standards`)
