I'm still studying writable.cpp. I'm finding what are in my
opinion bad ideas. This is the first:
static inline StrVector * get_vector(Str s)
{
return (StrVector *)(s - sizeof(StrVector) - 2);
}
It seems a Vector<Str> object is allocated, but only the address
of first string is saved. Then, when we want to use the Vector,
we just subtract and cast.
I think the
WritableReplDict::add_repl()
and
WritableDict::add()
functions are along the same lines.
Does anyone else have problems with these functions as they are?
I would like to straighten this out as part of fixing the
infinite loop problem.
Also, I had a problem saving replacement pairs that included
hyphenated words. I fixed it in
PosibErr<void> SpellerImpl::store_replacement().
The fix was to retrieve the separator characters from config and
use them, (not just space) to break up the replacement string
into its parts. I wasn't going to submit a patch until I fixed
the infinite loop bug, but I would be interested in what the list
things before I submit a patch.
