-- Spelling checker
-- This package provides a utility generic routine for checking for bad
-- spellings. This routine must be instantiated with an appropriate array
-- element type, which must represent a character encoding in which the
-- codes for ASCII characters in the range 16#20#..16#7F# have their normal
-- expected encoding values (e.g. the Pos value 16#31# must be digit 1).
pragma Compiler_Unit_Warning;
package GNAT.Spelling_Checker_Generic is
pragma Pure;
generic
type Char_Type is (<>);
-- See above for restrictions on what types can be used here
type String_Type is array (Positive range <>) of Char_Type;
function Is_Bad_Spelling_Of
(Found : String_Type;
Expect : String_Type) return Boolean;
-- Determines if the string Found is a plausible misspelling of the string
-- Expect. Returns True for an exact match or a probably misspelling, False
-- if no near match is detected. This routine is case sensitive, so the
-- caller should fold both strings to get a case insensitive match if the
-- character encoding represents upper/lower case.
--
-- Note: the spec of this routine is deliberately rather vague. This
-- routine is the one used by GNAT itself to detect misspelled keywords
-- and identifiers, and is heuristically adjusted to be appropriate to
-- this usage. It will work well in any similar case of named entities.
