Bug #78880 [Csd]: Spelling error report

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78880&edit=1 ID: 78880 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: admin at fossies dot org Summary: Spelling error report Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: *General Issues PHP Version: master Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks again for having created the codespell report and for having opened this bug ticket! Overall, I think it is a useful tool, although fixing every single spelling mistake is a lot of effort which can be spend more reasonably on other tasks. Still I fixed a lot of mistakes, and the spelling mistake count may now roughly be halfed. I didn't notice any real false positives reported by codespell, but for instance, Produkt must not be fixed for the reported cases, because it's used to test a German translation. Also, words like alloced and dereferencable don't appear to be outright wrong (at least the former seems not uncommon in programmer jargon). Finally, there have been some correctly indentified spelling mistakes regarding some of our bundled libraries (e.g. libpcre2, libgd, timelib). Fixing these in the bundled libraries doesn't make sense, since the mistakes would be reintroduced which every update. Instead it might be sensible to report these spelling mistakes upstream.

I think at least some of these typos should be addressed; I'll do so as soon as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-11-29 17:26:43] admin at fossies dot org That's seems reasonable. So here the new report https://fossies.org/linux/test/php-src-master.tar.gz/codespell.html that redirects currently to https://fossies.org/linux/test/php-src-master-f8f48ce.191129.tar.gz/codespell.html Also I removed some more obvious False Positives (a.o. machanism, crypted, aline, childs, trys). Unfortunately I'm not familiar with PHP itself so my valuations may not always be correct. So it may also meaningful for the experts to look at the supplemental pages https://fossies.org/linux/test/php-src-master.tar.gz/codespell_conf.html showing some used codesspell configurations and https://fossies.org/linux/test/php-src-master.tar.gz/codespell_fps.html showing all resulting False Positives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-11-29 12:38:16] cmb@php.net Thanks for the report, but in my opinion, fixing spelling mistakes in comments and error message for a stable version shouldn't be done on such a large scale (if at all), because that may break tests and other code relying on these spelling mistakes. I think it would be worthwhile fixing this in master, so it would be more useful if you could test that branch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-11-28 16:36:40] admin at fossies dot org Description: ------------ The FOSS server fossies.org offers a new feature "Source code misspelling reports": https://fossies.org/features.html#codespell Although such reports are normally generated only on request as Fossies admin I have just forced an analysis for the new PHP release 7.4.0: https://fossies.org/linux/www/php/codespell.html That version-independent URL should redirect always to the last report (if available), so currently to https://fossies.org/linux/www/php-7.4.0.tar.xz/codespell.html Although already some obviously wrong matches (false positives) are prefiltered (ignored) please inform me if you find more of them so that I can force a new improved check. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78880&edit=1
