FTS build docs inconsistency
(1) By Adrian Ho (lexfiend) on 2021-03-20 02:54:50 [source]
https://sqlite.org/fts3.html#compiling_and_enabling_fts3_and_fts4 says:
Note that enabling FTS3 also makes FTS4 available. There is not a separate SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4
compile-time option. A build of SQLite either supports both FTS3 and FTS4 or it supports neither.
But https://sqlite.org/compile.html#_options_to_enable_features_normally_turned_off defines both SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3
and SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4
, and the FTS4 macro doc mentions adding both versions to the build, while the FTS3 macro doc only mentions version 3.
And from the amalgamation:
/* ** FTS4 is really an extension for FTS3. It is enabled using the ** SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3 macro. But to avoid confusion we also all ** the SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4 macro to serve as an alisse for SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3. */
I don't use FTS myself, but I'll assume that the two compile-time options in fact enable exactly the same functionality, so can I suggest the following edits for clarity?
https://sqlite.org/fts3.html#compiling_and_enabling_fts3_and_fts4:

compile-time option.
https://sqlite.org/compile.html#_options_to_enable_features_normally_turned_off:
SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3
When this option is defined in the amalgamation, versions 3 and 4 of the full-text search engine is added to the build automatically.
SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4
This is an alias for SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3
.
