1. Various spelling mistakes.  Multiple instances of "arbitrarilly", "heirarchy" and others that a spellchecker'll easily pick up.

2. ctod.html
An all-too-common word confusion.  "Taking the modulus of a floating point number" - this is done using fabs or fabsf in C.  What the page describes is not taking the modulus of anything, let alone the modulus of _a_ floating point number.

x % y is correctly called "the remainder after dividing x by y" or "the residue modulo y of x".  Maybe "the remainder after division of floating point numbers" would be the best wording.

3. dcompiler.html#general
Bug list is a bit out of date.  Getter/setter functions work for me, not sure about the other bugs mentioned here at the mo.

4. float.html
Stub text has been left in, like "[blah, blah, blah]" and "[insert table here]", instead of whatever was meant to be there.

5. phobos.html
"char* toCharz(char[] string)"

Last time I looked, toCharz was deprecated.  I had to look at the std.string source to find the real function to use, toStringz.

I'm sure I found others, but unless they've been fixed already I can't seem to find them at the moment.

Oh yes, I've just found another one, on class.html:

"A static constructor gets called on program termination"

Walter edits the html directly, so I don't know if he has a spell check button, so he might make these corrections more quickly if he knows where to look.  I'm not a strong speller, so I didn't notice any of these until you mentioned this.

A made a list of some that I found by converting the latest PDF into text and openning it in OpenOffice (I had to wade through a lot of false-positives to get this list). I checked them against my favorite dictionary: Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (Tenth Edition).


arbitrarilly => arbitrarily
dstyle.html, errors.html, garbage.html, lex.html, portability.html, pretod.html

heirarchy => hierarchy:
class.html, cppdbc.html, function.html, overview.html, phobos.html

easilly => easily:
changelog.html, ctod.html, htomodule.html, lex.html, model.html, overview.html

compatiblity => compatibility: attribute.html, overview.html
Similary => Similarly: overview.html
inadvertantly => inadvertently: overview.html, statement.html

evaluationg => ?: statement.html

pointerss => pointers: function.html
readilly => readily: lex.html

absense => absence: property.html, struct.html

concatenting => concatenating: arrays.html
transfering => transferring: arrays.html
approprate => appropriate: arrays.html

necessarilly => necessarily: arrays.html, memory.html
unnecessarilly => unnecessarily: memory.html

interchangable => interchangeable: function.html, version.html
identifer => identifier: lex.html, template.html, version.html
collecters => collectors: garbage.html

environemnt => environment: dcompiler.html

analyser (is the British variant intended, or did you want analyzer?)
lex.html


Hmmm. I'll bet a missed one or two.

I don't mind. The more eyes proofing for errors, the better it will get. I hated it back in neanderthal times when I couldn't go back and fix the printed manual <g>.

Thanks for the fixes. -Walter
