I was trying out BibleCS 1.5.8rc1 and encountered what seems to me a serious bug with indexed (optimized) searching.
After building the index, if you search for a very common short word (e.g. "of", "the", "a"), BibleCS does the equivalent of crashing. It reports an application error ... exception Floating-point division by zero. BibleCS keeps running (I suppose a try --- catch handler is attempting to recover gracefully), but the Search capability is effectively unusable until BibleCS is restarted (... the Halt button is enabled rather than the Search button). BibleCS or sword-api problem? (or user error on my part?) I'm not familiar with the sword-api's optimized search logic or how BibleCS implements this capability. If this is a problem that is specific to the BibleCS 1.5.8 beta, then "no worries ... that's what betas are for." However, if this is a problem with the 1.5.8 sword-api, then that seems a bigger concern. There is a test program in examples\cmdline\search.cpp that someone with more experience than myself with indexed searching might be able to use to check if the problem is with BibleCS or the sword-api. Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Does this happen for other people? With linux? Happens with AKJV, KJV, ASV, WEB, etc. on Win2000-Sp4 and XpPro-Sp2. Non-optimized searching works correctly for short, common words (except rather slowly). _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
