Xapian discuss - Jun 2011 - Revision: 15699: $tg->index_text ($text, $weight) fails with "No matching function for overloaded 'TermGenerator_index_text'"

Hi,

I've been out of touch recently, so perhaps I've missed something (the
last
time I checked the svn pulse the Perl code was under search-xapian/ - looks
like things have moved to swig).

The latest trunk (revision 15699) has a problem with Perl:

$tg->index_text ($text, $weight);

It fails with "No matching function for overloaded
'TermGenerator_index_text'..."

I take it the missing code in xapian-bindings/perl/Search/Xapian.pm is the
issue?

Regards
Henry

Yes, trunk is now heading for a new development series (1.3.x) and as
part of that we've dropped the XS Search::Xapian from it in favour of
the SWIG generated version.  This seems a good time to push for a
migration, and the XS version would have needed work for changes in
xapian-core (removal of some deprecated features).

So now is a good time to test the SWIG version and report issues.  This
has the known issues:

I just added a couple of testcases to t/termgenerator.t which still
passes - these work for me:

$termgen->index_text('foo bar baz foo', 4);
$termgen->index_text_without_positions('baz zoo', 42);

What exactly are you passing for $text and $weight?
