I am sure that a lot of people in this group have read the latest Ellis & Stroustrup book (The annotated C++ reference manual). Has anybody noticed the error on page 235? The virtual table entries for MW & BMW, and those for BW's virtual table are wrong. The first two entries in these two tables are identical. Is this the right way to report an error in the book? Can somebody post the correct entries for the whole virtual tables? Understanding virtual base class plus virtual function is already very hard. A correct example would be very helpful. Thanks. --steven zhang

We had spotted that one and it will be fixed in the third printing. At that time we will also post a list of errata to this newsgroup.
