[aspell-devel] Loadable Filters and Context scipping

[Christoph Hintermüller]

Hi
While seeking for a possibility to spellcheck the stringas and commentaries 
in 74 c/c++ sourcefiles without manually skipping all the code allready 
"spelle" by gcc i came accross the todo and sugestion lists of aspell

especially i found the todo about the loadable filters
and the sugestion about the context skipping

To my opinion the later is solved by solving the loadable filter problem
as this would also allow to add filters which extend others in order to 
handle subcontexts correctly

eg: Comments in C sources may contain a special format and special commands
     which are used by doctools like doxygen or docbook to generate manuals  

    and Documentation

assume a Filter handling the commentary context allready exists then this 
filter could be extended by a second filter examining the found word wether 
it is a command for doxygen which would start with a `@' or a `\'


To shorten this if out there is someone knowing which sourcefiles of 
aspell/pspell to look at  
i'll have a look at the loadable filtersupport the next days and as a first 
loadable filter i'd do the context skipping id call it rather context 
switching for c/C++ strings and comment blocks including subfilter for 
doxygen as i would need this myselve :)

ps: meanwhile I'll try to upgrade my aspell from somithing .33.7.1 alpha
