Quick favor for owners of The C++ Programming Language

[Evan]

There's an explanation in this book of why
extern "C" <blah>;
is not necessarily the same as
extern "C" { <blah>; }

(For the curious, if <blahon its own is a definition, the former is a
declaration and the latter is a definition. The reason for the former
is 'extern "C" <blah>' would then be a declaration, so sticking the
linkage in there shouldn't change it. At the same time, surrounding a
file with extern "C" shouldn't change its semantics besides linkage and
stuff like overloading.)

I want to cite that description in a paper, but I'm at home and didn't
bring my copy of TC++PL with me. Can someone who has it look up the
page number? It's *really* easy to find from looking up extern "C" in
the index. Make sure you give me the edition you're using.

Thanks,
Evan

Cool!

It even has the same page numbers as the book.

Hey, thanks. That's pretty useful.

(Sorry Bjarne, but I do assure you that I've got a nice hardcopy copy
back at my apartment, but I flew home for the holidays and it's sorta
big and heavy for air travel if I wasn't sure if it would be useful.

Holy crap! Is that legal? Does Dr Stroustrup know about this?

No. Now he does. It happens fairly regularly:

It's an antique versions without any of the errata applied.
