I'm going to try again, although I've not had much luck with support
here. Type in "store_replacement" into google and you see two posts
to the Aspell lists that haven't had any response right at the top.
Should I be posting to the sf.net tracker, instead?
I'm the author of the Perl interface Text::Aspell, and as you might
imagine, I get quite a few emails about the module. I'm no expert on
Aspell -- and the module is really a thin layer on top of the Aspell C
interface. I'd like to help these people, but often I can't if I
cannot receive help from the Aspell developers.
The questions I referred to above are about store_replacement failing
to return a true value. aspell.h has only this:
int aspell_speller_store_replacement(struct AspellSpeller * ths, const char
* mis, int mis_size, const char * cor, int cor_size);
And from my *brief* look at the code it seems as if it should return a
value indicating an error, although I didn't dig that deep:
extern "C" int aspell_speller_store_replacement(Speller * ths, const char *
mis, int mis_size, const char * cor, int cor_size)
{
ths->temp_str_0.clear();
ths->to_internal_->convert(mis, mis_size, ths->temp_str_0);
unsigned int s0 = ths->temp_str_0.size();
ths->temp_str_1.clear();
ths->to_internal_->convert(cor, cor_size, ths->temp_str_1);
unsigned int s1 = ths->temp_str_1.size();
PosibErr<bool> ret =
ths->store_replacement(MutableString(ths->temp_str_0.mstr(), s0),
MutableString(ths->temp_str_1.mstr(), s1));
ths->err_.reset(ret.release_err());
if (ths->err_ != 0) return -1;
return ret.data;
}
Actually, I'm not clear what is expected as a return. My Perl xs code
does this:
RETVAL = aspell_speller_store_replacement(self->speller, word, -1,
replacement, -1);
if ( !RETVAL )
{
self->errnum = aspell_speller_error_number( (const AspellSpeller
*)self->speller );
strncpy(self->lastError, (char*)
aspell_speller_error_message(self->speller), MAX_ERRSTR_LEN);
XSRETURN_UNDEF;
}
On linux that seems to run fine. On some versions of BSD the
store_replacement code returns undefined back to Perl. Oddly, when I
added a printf to print RETVAL before the if (!RETVAL) the problem
when away -- which made me think I cannot trust the return value.
Then today someone else emailed saying another test was failing. When
running "make test" on the Perl module I add a new word to the
session, and then make sure that word is returned in the session.
Then I call clear_session() and then check if the word is then removed
from the session. It's this last test that is failing -- the word is
still being returned from suggest(). The failure report is from
someone using OS X, and I've not been able to reproduce the problem in
other OS X machines. And the word is not normally in their dictionary.
Am I not understanding clear_session()? Or is there another reason the
word is not removed from the session?
Is there more than apsell.h and the page
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/man-html/Through-the-C-API.html#Through-the-C-API
to use as the API reference?
