Things to do with spell(1)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a) This code needs to be made WARNSable. Right now it isn't.
|
||
|
|
b) Make sure that we are very compatible with the SVID and Solaris
|
||
|
|
versions of the command (since those are the best models we have,
|
||
|
|
there being no SuS spec.)
|
||
|
|
c) Perhaps the last BSD version of /usr/dict/words that was 32V
|
||
|
|
derived should be merged in to the modern /usr/dict/words file. It
|
||
|
|
has a bunch of useful additions over the original 32V file etc.
|
||
|
|
d) The code should be commented and cleaned. The code style is very
|
||
|
|
1970s.
|
||
|
|
e) The way this works is bad. All the rules of how to deal with
|
||
|
|
spelling, suffixes, etc, are hard-coded in. That made sense in v7,
|
||
|
|
but it doesn't any more.
|
||
|
|
f) The word search algorithm might be made better. millert turned it
|
||
|
|
into a binary search from the orignal hash mechanism.
|
||
|
|
g) Also, the general mode that this program works in is VERY 1970s --
|
||
|
|
it just spits out a list of words that are misspelled without
|
||
|
|
context. By merging spell and spellprog, and doing a wee bit of
|
||
|
|
hacking, it should be possible to do things like complaining about
|
||
|
|
the line number that things are misspelled on etc.
