| Apr 5 at 10:57 | comment | added | Matthieu M. | I would note that compilers such as Clang use the Damerau-Levenshtein distance for suggestions in diagnostics about unknown identifiers. Clang however cuts off the distance calculation at a distance of 2 and will also validate the suggestions by attempting to compile with it -- it helps avoiding suggesting a method where a field is expected, or vice-versa, selecting a field/method whose type match, etc... -- in order to rank the possible suggestions. I do agree it should remain a fix suggestion, though, and the program should not compile/continue. | |
