Re: Ambiguous/debatable errata

For the errata:

"Index: stddef.h is listed but not summarized in the text; It needs a
section in Appendix B".
I propose the following:

"B12. Common standard type definitions: <stddef.h>

The standard header <stddef.hdefine s the following types and macros:

The types are:

ptrdiff_t
A signed integral type of the result of subtracting two pointers.

wchar_t
An integral type whose range of values can represent distinct
wide-character codes for all members of the largest extended character
set specified among the supported locales; the null character has the
code value 0 and each member of the basic character set has a code value
equal to its value when used as the lone character in an integer
character constant.

size_t
An unsigned integral type of the result of the sizeof operator.
The macros are:

NULL
NULL expands to an implementation-defined null pointer constant.

offsetof(type, member-designator)
offsetof expands to an integral constant expression of type size_t,
the value of which is the offset in bytes to the structure member
(member-designator), from the beginning of its structure (type)".
Any feedback is welcome.

Hi, My question is how to resolve in C# ambiguous overloaded operators? Let say, I have two unrelated classes A and B, each one implements overloaded operator + with the first parameter of type A, and the second one of type B. Let say, these are not my classes and I know nothing about the implementation. As system doesn't know what code must be used for resolving the language construction a+b (where A a; and B b;), it returns "The call...

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. Zach

Myself am going to post here and send to that K&R errata site all the solutions I implemented for the ambiguous errata I have solved or others contributed solutions, with their names, when finished.
