Errata for 3rd printing of A Tour of C++

Modified August 26, 2014.

Errata for Bjarne Stroustrup: A Tour of C++, Addison-Wesley, 2013. ISBN 978-0321958310. Errata for the 2nd printing to be applied to create the 3rd printing.

There seem to be a wide variety of opinion how much errata should be posted and how it should be presented. I have decided to post only errata that in my opinion may affect comprehension.

I do correct all typos and minor gramatical issues in future printings, and I may insert minor clarifications in the book. I just don't post them all as errata. All comment and corrections are welcome.

I sometimes use the terse notation: s/old text/new text/
