Error in 'man operator'

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

 



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!
