References to the source code are comment for myself so they don't
appear in the text. Is it better to put them in the text?
Certainly it is inconvenient that hyperlinks are typeset normally in
the PDF. I'll fix it.

The "function prologue and epilogue" here refer the initialization and
termination code executed before/after the entry point function, say
main().
I'll reconsider the wording here to make it clearly.

OK, I'll add them.
