h3. Errata for first printing of the book
Page 190. Example 7.14 - The formatting is broken, it should look more like:
{noformat}
(*((void(*)())dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "exit")))(status);
}
double sin(double x) {
{noformat}
Page 186 Example 7.8 - The flag needs to be in quotes to avoid being interpreted by the shell
{noformat}
$ cc -o myapp -L. '-R$ORIGIN/../lib' -lmylib myapp.c |
{noformat}
|
| Page 400. Example 12.28 is missing |
| Page 335. Typo: "achive" should be "achieve". |
| |
Page 400. Example 12.28 is missing the following code:
|
{noformat}
#include <limits.h> |
... {noformat}
h3. 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:
{noformat}
#define PTHREAD_STACK_MIN ((size_t)_sysconf(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN))
{noformat}
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 |http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5175/6mbba7f3g?a=view] (`man standards`) |
