Re: [Shootout] Spellcheck.adb

Hi,

happy to read your post, also because i'm the folk who proposed the 
spellcheck ada implementation :-), i don't undestand yet the shootout 
spellcheck error as it works nicely on my system, does it failed on 
yours too ? may be you could describe the errors here if so ? thanks

You can find interesting discussion on the spellcheck implementation & 
speed issue in the thread named "Ada Bench" of comp.lang.ada
you could use :
- Ada.Streams.Stream_IO.Read instead of Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line
- the shootout spellcheck C++ hash function as hash function

Is it for N=1 ? could you describe your system configuration & the 
command line used to launch the program ?

Well done, i was about 5 min on my first implementation ;-)
here is the shootout spellcheck implementation (for N=1) duration, you 
can take a look on my system configuration on the Ada Bench thread :
real    0m0.126s
user    0m0.078s
sys     0m0.013s

To compare (just because we are talking about benchmark and how to speed 
up our programs) here is your posted implementation on my system (i add 
the line with Ada.Strings.Fixed; as "strings.fixed.delete" was not 
handle by my compiler without it)
real    0m1.432s
user    0m1.361s
sys     0m0.014s

Your next version should be far far better ;-)

Hope it could help ;-)
