[aspell-devel] Compiling aspell under Forte revisited

[Konstantinos Koukopoulos]

I'm having trouble compiling aspell 0.50.3 under
Solaris 9 with Forte Developer 7 C++ 5.4.
Apart from some minor changes, that mostly look
like misconfigurations of the STL library, 
I'm stuck with the same error that Manfred Metz
had (see [1]).   The error message we get is:

"readonly_ws.cpp", line 197: Error: Redefining acommon::hash<acommon::K>
after use in aspeller_default_readonly_ws::ReadOnlyWS::SoundslikeLookupParms.

I looked at the Forte C++ migration guide and it says 
the following [2]:

> C++ contains rules that prohibit any redefinition of an outer scope name
> that has been used in the class.

According to the above, the declaration:

> struct SoundslikeLookupParms {
>          ...
>          hash<const char*> hash;
>          ...  
> };

appearing in readonly_ws.cpp, is incorrect.  
I don't have a copy of the C++ standard available, but 
from a comp.lang.c++ posting [3] which quotes the
standard it seems that under paragraph 2 of chapter
9.2 (scope rules for classes) the above code is illegal.
The paragraph reads (quoted from the above post):

>  2) A name N used in a class S shall refer to the same declaration
>  when re-evaluated in its context and in the completed scope of S.

So, I suppose that Forte is right about this, and g++ is not.

I suppose one would go about renaming the member 'hash', but I don't
know where else it could be in use.   If it's just a matter of renaming, 
then I could submit a patch.  Please let me know.
