K&R Errata?

[Zach]

I am looking for a comprehensive list of errors in Kernighan &
Ritchie's "The C Programming Lanuage: 2nd Edition (ANSI C)"

Also what is the best way to work through the list with the Errata? I
don't want to constantly refer back to the Errata since that may slow
down my learning but I also don't want to learn something that isn't
100% accurate.

Just got my English copy of K&R2. Does anyone know if the above errata
contain fixes regarding inconsistencies between "Appendix A: Reference
manual" and the actual final ANSI C89/ISO C90 (or better, C95)?

Thanks.

Re: K&amp;R Errata?

About the errata:

"53(§2.12): The note under the table should say & as well as + - * has
higher precedence as a unary operator."


Can someone say what the entire note text under that table should be?

Unaer haben +, -, * und & mehr Vorrang als binaer. ?

From that chart:
Operator Description
-------- -----------------
& Address
& Bitwise AND
* Dereference
* Multiplication
+ Unary plus
+ Addition
++ Postfix increment
++ Prefix increment
- Unary minus
- Subtraction
-- Postfix decrement
-- Prefix decrement

As you know, these operators are the same symbols but have different
meanings and precendence when used in the second sense.
From the position on the chart in the link that I posted, you can tell
which ones have higher precedence.

I'll just translate the sentence of "c gordon liddy". I do not know if
it is correct for the table, or if it makes sense at all. ;)

"If used unary, the '+', '-', '*' and '&' have higher precendence than
if used binary."

HTH,
