Re: Very minor mistakes in GNU Prolog Manual 1.3.0

Thank you Dave for your reports.

I look at them asap...

Dave Sworin a écrit :

List of VERY MINOR mistakes in GNU Prolog Manual from HTML
Version 1.3.0

Section 3.2.1

... executed in the oder of appearance.

[Should read “... executed in the order of appearance.”]

Section 3.3

LOCALSZ=8192; export LOCALS (under sh or bash)

[Should be “... export LOCALSZ...”]

Section 3.4.2

*.wbc file extension missing from table

Section 3.4.3

–no-redef-error no not show errors for

built-in predicate redefinitions

[Should read “do not show ...”]

Section 5.3.1

throw(error(instantiation_error), my_pred/1)),

[Should read “throw((error(instantiation_error), my_pred/1)),”

otherwise one gets unmatched parentheses for non-existent throw/2.

This mistake is repeated twice.]

Section 7.3.1

(in the ISO reference the oder of variables is system
dependent)

[Should read “...the order of variables...”]

Section 7.10.6

open(SourceSink, Mode, Stream, Options) is equivalent

to open(SourceSink, Mode, Stream, []).

[Should read “open(SourceSink, Mode, Stream) is equivalent

to open(SourceSink, Mode, Stream, []).”]

Section 7.12.2

get_key(+stream_or_alias, ?integer) but get_key(Code, SorA)

[The order of the arguments in the Templates and in the Description

sections do not match for get_key/2. Please check get_key_no_echo/2
also.]

Section 7.14.7

...print using spaces on the rigth if needed...

[“rigth” should be spelled “right”]

Section 7.14.10

Operator “:” (colon) listed and defined by GNU Prolog but
not in

Prolog: The Standard reference manual table of predefined operators

and no other information given in the GNU Prolog Manual.

Is this intentional?

Section 7.17.1

...the input list (Start) and the output list (Stop).

[Should read “...the input list (Start) and the output list (End).”

to match the example below, or the example should be

changed to use Stop.]

Section 7.19.7

number_chars(Number, Chars) is similar to number_atom/2 but

deals with a list of character codes.

number_codes(Number, Codes) is similar to number_atom/2 but

deals with a list of characters.

[The end of these descriptions should be swapped.

number_chars/2 should have “... a list of characters” and

number_codes/2 should have “... a list of character codes”.]

Section 7.21.7

The query testl(B) will succeed...

[There is no query “testl(B)” shown above.

Both queries are shown as test(B).]

Section 7.27.10

...or if it its permissions...

[Repeated words “it its”.]

Section 7.27.23

process can be ontained using wait/2

[Typo should be corrected to spell “obtained”, not “ontained”.]
