Hi,

In 2284.pdf file page 938 [Working Draft, Standard for Programming
Language C+], the function

basic_istream<charT,traits>& read(char_type* s , streamsize n );

Is not indented in the same way as all the other member functions ....
which made it hard for me to find it in the doc.  It is tabbed in too
far.

If someone out there can fix it that would be cool :)

Thanks,
----

In my copy of N2284.pdf, in [istream.unformatted], that line is the
prototype for paragraph 30. (that's just a little lesson in citing the
standard: the tags never change, so they're the best way to refer to
particular parts of the standard, and paragraph numbers are much easier
to find than particular text).

I'll take care of it.

Rather than tie up newsgroup bandwidth, you can send editorial fixes to
editorial@versatilecoding.com. You'll get a canned reply rather than
something as personal as this.

Hello,

It's so minor I almost hate to mention it.

In 18.7 it's talking about va_start and says:

>SEE ALSO: ISO C subclause 4.8.1.1.

but that's the ANSI numbering, 7.8.1.1 is probably what it means.  Then after
the next paragraph it's talking about longjmp and it says:

>SEE ALSO: ISO C subclause 7.10.4, 7.8, 7.6, 7.12.

7.6 (setjmp.h) makes sense and 7.10.4 (about/atexit/exit/getenv/system) might be
relavent but 7.8 (stdarg.h) and 7.12 (time.h) are surely misplaced.

Is there a better place than std.comp.c++ to report such things?
