[sword-devel] Does Eloquent use only the core library of SWORD or more than that? e.g. the clucene library, zlib, etc.

[DM Smith]

Regarding 32 vs 64 bit, don’t get hung up over the warnings. The biggest problem with the warnings is that they can hide real problems. But most of the reports will be of the kind where an intermediate storage size of a computation is wider than its destination. So basically something like int x = 8 * 4 will complain that int is not long because the operation is done so that it can be larger than the storage required by its parts.

The computations within SWORD are largely to compute indexes into an array. Those arrays are far smaller than a 32-bit number can index. Ensuring that the computation doesn’t produce a warning won’t help.

I’d suggest working on getting PocketSword to compile without error, getting it to work and submit it to the app store.

I’m now getting a warning on starting the program, where a dialog pops up stating:

     “PocketSword” May Slow
          Down Your iPhone
The developer of this app needs
      to update it to improve its
              compatibility.
                     OK

In Him,
DM

Since I've been trying to work on the PocketSword code, I'm curious as to how its desktop counterpart handles tasks. Does it use the same libraries of code that comes with the SWORD code or if not, which ones are used and which ones are not?
