This includes all the known bugs since the third printing (1985). Many corrections have also appeared in the Smalltalk-80 newsletter from ParcPlace Systems (and Xerox in the past). Most notably a list of bugs in the second printing are in the Sept. 1984 Smalltalk-80 newsletter #4. Perhaps they would make that list available to you.

If this documentation is not public available at your site, I may send you a description of the more serious bugs. (The whole list is a bit longish) Andreas Toenne D

> Does anyone have a list of Blue Book* errors, typos, etc.? > * 'Smalltalk-80, The Language and Its Implementation' by Goldberg and Robson The Blue Book's implementation of Rotation doesn't work properly when used with the same book's implementation of Bitblt. A couple of us from Waterloo "discovered" this a few years ago. It was checked out and acknowledged by Robson. The problem was discovered while trying to rotate small 32x32 or 64x64 bitmaps. I believe the problem occurred then the source and destination bitmap were the same bitmap and the width of the rectangle was the same as the word size of the machine (or something like that). If anyone has a fix, I would still be interesting in looking at it.
