[Aspell-user] Calling aspell_config_replace() after to_aspell_speller()

[Bill Moseley]

Hi Kevin and all.

It's been a while since I looked at Aspell in detail.

I had a Debian bug report on Text::Aspell

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=203517

Where they created a spelling object and then tried to change the 
language.  Is my understanding correct that once the speller is created 
that changing "lang" in this example should have no effect?  In other 
words doesn't creating the speller bind the options to a dictionary 
file?

If that's true, is it true for all options?  And if for all options 
should setting an option on an existing Speller report an error?

After I create a speller object I get the config settings back via:

   self->config  = aspell_speller_config(self->speller);

If you do look at that bug report you should know that Text::Aspell will
create the speller automatically the first time check() or suggest() are
called.


The xs interface code is at:

  http://search.cpan.org/src/HANK/Text-Aspell-0.02/Aspell.xs

I have fixed two segfaults in the soon-to-CPAN 0.03 version.


BTW -- a few people have asked for a way to pass entire documents to 
Aspell through Text::Aspell.  Something like piping a document to aspell 
-a.  I don't suppose there's an API for that -- or even an API to use to 
split works so I could check them one at a time.

Another BTW -- the docs at

 http://savannah.gnu.org/download/aspell/manual/user/6_Writing.html

show

   AspellManager * spell_checker = 0;

but in my code I see I have:

   AspellSpeller * spell_checker = 0;

Is that just an issue of the on-line docs?

Thanks,
