10-3Finally I was sent the above privately published ring bound A6 format
publication by the author/publisher. As he included no information about
cost I have no idea about its value for money. It only covers functions
(by the way, the pedant in me compels me to comment that it is ISO C -
ANSI C is just the US printing and distribution) and not the other aspects
of the ISO C Library.
A quick glance leaves me a little doubtful of its contents. The very first entry,
abort()is correct as far as it goes but fails to say that it raises a
SIGABRTsignal and calls
exit(EXIT_FAILURE)if the signal handler returns. That is information I would want to know because it impacts on exactly does happen when
abort()is called. If anyone is interested or has the time to do a more detailed review for the author they can contact him on 01305 760 246.
