p.42,ln.23 tabchar needed p.60 can the examples have a bit more meat? the bones are showing...it is unclear how or why to use them p.91,ln.16 "A static constructor..." should be "destructor" p.209,ln.4,5,6 "FLAG" should be "FLAGS" Good quality manual! |

Posted in reply to larry cowan | First off, I think you're looking at an outdated PDF. I think you're looking at this file: http://www.prowiki.org/upload/HelmutLeitner/D_Programming_Language_030418.pdf (Maybe we can get Walter to provide the more recent version at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/intro.html.) There's a newer PDF version that ssuukk has produced from Walter's D specification (http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?D/22264). larry cowan wrote: > p.42,ln.23 tabchar needed I can't find what you're referring to. What text does it involve? Is it somewhere around this? .isnormal 1 if not nan or infinity, 0 if .digits number of digits of precision .epsilon smallest increment .mantissa number of bits in mantissa Maybe the .isnormal description should be "1 if not nan or infinity, otherwise 0" > p.60 can the examples have a bit more meat? the bones are showing...it is > unclear how or why to use them I agree some of this stuff is pretty terse. Since we're talking about a specification as opposed to a tutorial, I doubt we can get Walter to include a longer example in this spec. Is there something in particular you're trying to understand? Try posting a specific question on this newsgroup. Most inquiries get polite responses around here. I can explain some things such as an assert, but delegates and function literals are still a little over my head. > p.91,ln.16 "A static constructor..." should be "destructor" I agree. Walter's version is wrong as well. (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/class.html#staticdestructor) > p.209,ln.4,5,6 "FLAG" should be "FLAGS" Yes. Or change "flags |= FLAGS_X;" to "flags |= FLAG_X;" http://www.digitalmars.com/d/pretod.html > > Good quality manual! -- Justin http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/ |

Actually, I've uploaded the updated PDF to http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageSpecification, so Walter doesn't have to change the link. > There's a newer PDF version that ssuukk has produced from Walter's D specification (http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?D/22264). That's the version that I uploaded to the Wiki. (I've had trouble trying to download from the web interface.) -- Justin http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/ |

What text does it involve? Okay, I found it. I don't think I'm blind. .maxExp maximum exponent as power of 2 (?) I guess I missed it because "exponent" still lines up with the rest of the column. Yes, that looks like a good thing for Walter to fix. (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/property.html) -- Justin http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/ |
