Subject: Error in 'man operator'
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2021 14:11:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4cc4d818-58ad-529e-dd25-df3cb0fae66d@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I've run across what I believe is a minor error in the man page for C
operators (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/operator.7.html ).
The man page lists casting in the 2nd row of the table:
Operator Associativity Notes
() [] -> . ++ -- left to right [1]
! ~ ++ -- + - (type) * & sizeof right to left [2]
* / % left to right
However, in "C A Reference Manual" (5th ed.), table 7-3 on pg. 205 shows
that all of the operators in row 2 above have a precedence of 15 except
for casts which have a precedence of 14. Consequently, the man page
should display casts as the (new) 3rd row in the table above.
Thanks for your effort in maintaining this documentation.

Have all good days!
