C++ Templates: Errata for the 2nd to 4th Printings |
This is the errata of the 2nd and the following
printings of the book C++
Templates by David
Vandevoorde and Nicolai
M. Josuttis. It
covers all errors that were found until the 4th printing came out. Thus,
you will find additional errors in the erratas for the
following editions.
The errata is organized in
the following way:
- The first part lists technical errors
- The second part lists typos (including stylistic changes
due to consistency etc.)

26, Section 3.2:
Replace:
You can use a type of an instantiated class template
as any other type, as long as the operations are supported:
by
the following:
An instantiated class template's type can be used just
like any other type. You can qualify it with const
or volatile, or derive array
and reference types from it. You can even use it as a type parameter when building
another template type:
Page 39, Section 4.2:
The sentence "addValue<int,
5> is a function template,
and function templates are ..." is a bit sloppy. More exactly, it
has to be "addValue<int, 5>
is a function template instance, and function template instances are ...".
Page 47 (stack5assign.hpp),
Page 49 (stack6assign.hpp),
Page 54 (stack8.hpp):
In the templified assignment operator of Stack
the test of assignment to itself is useless because the template member assignment
operator is never used for assignment between objects of the same type, and
if the address of rhs ==
this, then the object must reasonably
be of the same type.

Replace

T const& max (T const&a, T const& b)
{
//
ERROR: both export and inline
return a < b ? b : a;
}
by the following:

// ERROR: both export and inline
inline T const& max (T const& a, T const& b)
{
return a < b ? b : a;
}

At this point, dependent qualified names are looked up using both ordinary and
argument-dependent lookup rules.
by:
At this point, dependent qualified names are looked up using ordinary lookup
rules (because argument-dependent lookup only applies to certain unqualified
names).

Page 172, Section 11.3:
The example code of class
S has to be as follows:
class S {
public:
template<typename T, int N> operator
T&();
};
and the corresponding text at the end of Section 11.3 has to be the following,
then:
Here we are attempting to convert S
to int (&)[20]. Type A
is therefore int[20] and type
P is T. The deduction
succeeds with T substituted with
int[20].
Page 208:
Twice, substitute:
MyInt = count<MyInt>(c);
assert(MyInt == i);
by the following:
MyInt j = count<MyInt>(c);
assert(j == i);
Page 210:
The const at the end of the
declarations of the static functions Bracket::address()
and Bracket::bytes() are wrong.
Therefore, you have to remove const
four times.
Page 305ff, Sections 17.3 and
17.4
The current implementations of Sqrt<>
don't handle 0 as argument. There
is no problem to handle it by defining the minimum/starting value as 0
instead of 1. However, a lot
of modifications are necessary then. The most obvious ones are the following:
Page 305, sqrt1.hpp: s/int LO=1/int
LO=0/
Page 305: s/the square root is at least one/the square root is at least
zero/
Page 308, sqrt2.hpp: s/int LO=1/int
LO=0/
Page 310: s/for (I=1;/for
(I=0;/
Page 310, sqrt3.hpp: s/int I=1/int
I=0/
Page 311, sqrt4.hpp: s/int I=1/int
I=0/
However, the expansions discussed with this example change accordingly, which
means that the whole contents of this section has to be rewritten in some way.
Therefore, we will keep the contents of the book as it is.
Page 318, Section 17.7:
to be exact, for the instantiation process of dot_product<3>(a,b)
some parentheses are missing to reflect the fact that the
additions are done starting at the end of the array. So the expression becomes:
DotProduct<3,int>::result(a,b)
= *a * *b + DotProduct<2,int>::result(a+1,b+1)
= *a * *b + (*(a+1) * *(b+1) + DotProduct<1,int>::result(a+2,b+2))
= *a * *b + (*(a+1) * *(b+1) + *(a+2) * *(b+2))
Page 339, Section 18.2.5
the code at the bottom of the page (which is exprtmpl/exprops4.hpp) must be
replaced by:
template<typename T,
typename R>
template<typename T2, typename R2> inline
Array<T, A_Subscript<T, R, R2> >
Array<T, R>::operator[](Array<T2, R2> const& b)
{
return Array<T, A_Subscript<T, R,
R2> >
(A_Subscript<T,
R, R2>(*this, b));
}
Page 350ff, Section 19.2
We need additional partial specializations of CompoundT
for const and volatile pointer variants. Thus, for the sentence at the bottom
of page 350 introducing types/type3.hpp, add the following footnote:
The definitions of CompoundT<T* const>, CompoundT<T* volatile>, and CompoundT<T* const volatile> are omitted for brevity. They are identical to the definition of CompoundT<T*>.
Page 391, Section 20.2.8:
When declaring a friend class template the keyword friend has to follow the
template parameters. Thus, replace:
friend template<typename
T2, typename CP2, typename OP2>
class CountingPtr;
by the following:
template<typename
T2, typename CP2, typename OP2>
friend class CountingPtr;
Page 412, Section 21.3:
Figure 21.1 is slightly incorrect. In the middle two boxes, the second type
has to be Tuple<...>::BaseT.
Thus, insert ::BaseT before the
final closing >.
