Function Documentation

◆ find_closest_string()

const char * find_closest_string ( const char * target,
const auto_vec< const char * > * candidates )
Given TARGET, a non-NULL string, and CANDIDATES, a non-NULL ptr to
an autovec of non-NULL strings, determine which element within
CANDIDATES has the lowest edit distance to TARGET.  If there are
multiple elements with the same minimal distance, the first in the
vector wins.

If more than half of the letters were misspelled, the suggestion is
likely to be meaningless, so return NULL for this case.

◆ get_edit_distance() [1/2]

edit_distance_t get_edit_distance ( const char * s,
const char * t )
Get the edit distance between two nil-terminated strings.   

References get_edit_distance(), and ggc_alloc().

◆ get_edit_distance() [2/2]

edit_distance_t get_edit_distance ( const char * s,
int len_s,
const char * t,
int len_t )
Get the edit distance between the two strings: the minimal
number of edits that are needed to change one string into another,
where edits can be one-character insertions, removals, or substitutions,
or transpositions of two adjacent characters (counting as one "edit").

This implementation uses a modified variant of the Wagner-Fischer
algorithm for the Damerau-Levenshtein distance; specifically, the
"optimal string alignment distance" or "restricted edit distance"
variant.  This implementation has been further modified to take
case into account.

◆ get_edit_distance_cutoff()

edit_distance_t get_edit_distance_cutoff ( size_t goal_len,
size_t candidate_len )
Generate the maximum edit distance for which we consider a suggestion
to be meaningful, given a goal of length GOAL_LEN and a candidate of
length CANDIDATE_LEN.

This is a third of the length of the candidate or of the goal,
whichever is bigger.
