source code of The Standard C Library, by Plauger
STANDARD C LIBRARY CODE DISK V. 2.0
This diskette contains all the source code from ``The Standard C Library,‘’
by P.J. Plauger (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1992). It corrects
a number of errors reported after publication. Hence, the code may differ
from the book in small ways.
Fifteen subdirectories have names that match the standard headers. These
contain all the *.c files presented in the text. (NOTE: Directories limits,
stdarg, and stddef are empty.) The directory _headers contains all the .h
files presented throughout the text. The directory _test contains all the
t.c files presented as test programs throughout the text.
The directory _unixvax replicates a number of these files. It also contains
the sample version of raise.c described in the running text for the ULTRIX
(UNIX VAX) operating system. The directory _unix68k contains ``dirty’’
versions of these files – with the conventional UNIX names for system
calls. It also contains the file yvals.h modified for the GCC compiler on
Sun UNIX (680X0) workstations. That version of yvals.h shows how to define
_CPS if you wish to use the UNIX time system call directly. The directory
_tc86 contains the files that must be modified for the Turbo C++ (ANSI C)
compiler. Finaly, the directory _dummy contains simple versions of several
files. Typically, these define functions that can fail all the time.
Appendix A: Interfaces summarizes what you have to do to make use of this
code. Please note that it is NOT prepackaged ready to go for any given
operating environment.
