Corrections to second (Jan. 1997) and third (June 2001) printings of C Interfaces and Implementations: Techniques for Creating Reusable Software (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series, 1997, ISBN 0-201-49841-3). In the list below, line +n and line -n refer to the nth line from the top and bottom of the indicated page.

Page 168, lines -13..-8: Change to

if (length == 0)
	FREE(array->array);
else if (array->length == 0)
	array->array = ALLOC(length*array->size);
else
	RESIZE(array->array, length*array->size);

(This change should also be applied to page 168, lines -11..-8 in the first printing.)
