Object-Oriented Programming in C++: Errata |
This is the errata of the book Object-Oriented
Programming in C++ by Nicolai
M. Josuttis.
The errata is organized in
the following way:
- The first part lists technical errors
- The second part lists typos
Page 90, Section 3.5.9, stl/ioiter1.cpp
This example does not compile on all platforms because there is an additional
include statement for the stream iterators missing:
#include <iterator>
Page 164, Section 4.2.6
In the paragraph after the example declaration of prefix and postfix increment
operator, the explanations of the meaning are wrong. It has to be the other
way round:
... while the first returns the value of the object after it was incremented and the second returns the object before it is incremented.
Page 442, Section 7.3.3
The second sentence claiming that every member function of a specialization
must begin with template<>
is wrong. Member functions like Stack<std::string>::push()
are defined without a leading template<>
(as the code in tmpl/stack2.hpp shows).
Page 455, Section 7.5.2
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.
Pages 440, 446, 450, 465
Because the Stack class throws std::out_of_range exception the test programs
should be changed from:
catch (const
char* msg) {
std::cerr << "Exception:
" << msg << std::endl;
to:
catch (const
std::exception& e) {
std::cerr << "Exception:
" << e.what()<< std::endl;
Page 526,
Replace the paragraph starting with "Some
of these algorithms ..." by the following:
"The _if suffix is used when
you can call two forms of an algorithm that have the same number of parameters
either by passing a value or by passing a function. In this case, the version
without the suffix is used for values, and the version with the _if suffix is
used for functions. However, not all algorithms that have a parameter for functions
have the _if suffix. When the function version of an algorithm has an additional
argument, it has the same name."
Page 530, Table 9.14:
upper_bound() returns the
first element that is greater than a value.
Page 531, Table 9.16:
min() returns the minimum
value of the type (has meaning if is_bounded||!is_signed).
Page 570/571, Section 10.1
Unfortunately not all horizontal lines are visible in the table. Whenever there
is an "Eval." entry in a row, starts a new group of operators with
the same priority. Thus, a horizontal line is missing below the following operators:
->* % >> & ^ &&
|| |=
