#58 libhyphen 2.3 crashes with german hyphenation dict
Hi Lazlo,
see http://bugs.debian.org/459943. From the discussion at the end of the bug it seems that a OpenOffice.org built against libhyphen 2.3 crashes with the german hyphenation dictionary.
Can you please have a look?
Regards,
Rene

FWIW I suspect this is fixed with the patch of:

The new hyphen version 2.3.1 has fixed the bug of the old API: I have made a Valgrind memcheck on the unmunched OpenOffice 2.3's de_DE dictionary and on other half a million German compound words, and I have found only an unconditional jump bug in the old API function hnj_hyphen_hyphenate() (potential problem for the old (<2.1?) OpenOffice.org versions). This problem in hnj_hyphen_hyphenate2() (used by new OpenOffice.org versions) was fixed for a long ago, so try Caolan's patch, too. Thanks, László

Hi,
tried with hyphen 2.3.1 and it works (OOo actually does use *both* functions). Thanks for the quick fix.
Didn't yet try the bad structs patch as it doesn't apply cleanly to the hunspell 1.1.9 we still use because of teh ABI breakage and test suite failures in newer versions.

Hmm. Nevermind, it still fails with hyphen 2.3.1 (it just did work by chance here it seems...)

It seems, I forgot that I haven't changed all hnj_hyphen_hyphenate() in OOo source to hnj_hyphen_hyphenate2(). ☹ Thanks for the report. ☺

Please, check the shared library dependencies. If it is ok, we will need a Valgrind check for OpenOffice.org, too, because the example program of libhyphen tested by me works fine.
I think, also Fedora/Red Hat uses libhyphen, maybe really the new/fixed Hunspell is the difference and the solution for the problem. I will release a new Hunspell version next day. I have already got Hunspell fixes for PowerPC platform (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1882105&group_id=143754&atid=756395).
