34 -- Spelling checker
36 -- This package provides a utility routine for checking for bad spellings
38 package GNAT.Spelling_Checker is
39 pragma Pure (Spelling_Checker);
41 function Is_Bad_Spelling_Of
42 (Found : String;
43 Expect : String)
44 return Boolean;
45 -- Determines if the string Found is a plausible misspelling of the
46 -- string Expect. Returns True for an exact match or a probably
47 -- misspelling, False if no near match is detected. This routine
48 -- is case sensitive, so the caller should fold both strings to
49 -- get a case insensitive match.
51 -- Note: the spec of this routine is deliberately rather vague. This
52 -- routine is the one used by GNAT itself to detect misspelled keywords
53 -- and identifiers, and is heuristically adjusted to be appropriate to
54 -- this usage. It will work well in any similar case of named entities
55 -- with relatively short mnemonic names.
