No, in fact the arguments to checkWord, suggestWord, and
requestDictionary
as in these error lines from the compiler:
'checkWord' : overloaded member function
'enum SpellChecker::_SpellCheckResult (unsigned short *,unsigned int)'
not found in 'ISpellChecker'
'suggestWord' : overloaded member function
'class UT_Vector *(unsigned short *,unsigned int)'
not found in 'ISpellChecker'
'requestDictionary' : overloaded member function
'bool (char *)'
not found in 'ISpellChecker'
All 3 of these functions are declared and define with their first
argument being a const pointer but for some reason the compiler
thinks we are attempting to call members with non-const first
arguments.
I'm wondering if there may be some #define, typedef, or magick
affecting the const keyword? Even if this is a compiler bug
we need a workaround to have a Windows build at this point ):
Andrew.
