Revision history:

Revision 4, August 19, 2001

  • Restructured the book; this is the first version with Chuck Allison coauthoring. Incorporated Chuck's testing framework, which will be used throughout the book and automatically included as part of the book's build process in the makefiles.

  • In the code subdirectory of the unpacked distribution, you can now use make to compile for Borland, Microsoft, Gnu g++2.95 (distributed with Cygwin) and Gnu g++3.0 (tested under Linux).

  • Under Windows98/NT/2000, you will get best results running under the free Cygwin environment (www.Cygwin.com), even if you're compiling for Borland or Microsoft. In particular, some linker command lines for Microsoft are too long for Win98 COMMAND.COM, but work just fine under Cygwin.

  • Made many code changes to allow programs to be run inside the test framework, in particular removing the need for user input when executing programs.

  • Added //{L} ../TestSuite/Test in all the programs that can be run without user input, to cause the makefile builder to generate calls to the programs as part of the build process.

  • Expected publication date is July 2002. Periodic updates will be posted via www.BruceEckel.com.
