linux man pages: pthread_create(3): oddball comment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings.

The man page for pthread_create:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/pthread_create.3.html

Has some example code at the bottom; one of the invocations includes
this bit of commentary:

           8192            # The stack size limit is 8 MB (0x80000 bytes)

I had to stare at that a bit; I believe it should actually be 0x800000
(note 5 zeros, not 4).

(I do wish that we -- the computing community -- had managed to come
up with a sane digits separator for hex, but oh well.  0x80_0000
maybe?  0x80'0000?  just 0x80,0000?)

Anyway.

Thanks for the good work!

Best regards,
Anthony Foiani
