flyspell-prog-mode, flyspell-mode and different dictionary

flyspell-prog-mode, flyspell-mode and different dictionary

Hello,

I use a lot flyspell-mode when I write E-mails and Org-mode documents.
And by default, its language is set to french on my system. Which is my
main language.

Recently, I discovered flyspell-prog-mode and wanted to use it in all
programming language editing. But this time, set to english.

In the manual, I didn't found a way to set the spell check language
based on the mode. And there is no flyspell-prog-mode-hook.

Did I miss something ?

Or is the only solution is to attach a lambda function, to prog-mode-hook,
that will call flyspell-prog-mode and ispell-change-dictionary like
this:

        (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook
                  '(lambda ()
                     (flyspell-prog-mode t)
                     (ispell-change-dictionary "english")))



Best regards

I don't know if this is the _only_ solution, but it is certainly a
valid solution.  (Of course, the hook doesn't have to be a
lambda-function, it could be a named function.)

Have you checked the definition of flyspell-prog-mode?

In my installation (29.4) it calls flyspell-prog-mode-hook.

Possibly you are being misled by this hook being undefined by 
default?

I checked for variable `flyspell-prog-mode-hook` with
`describe-variable`, with no success.

Please don't quote lambdas.

Undefined variables won't show up there, which is why I asked if 
you checked the definition of the flyspell-prog-mode *function*.

If you setq an undefined variable, it will define it, and if your 
version of the mode references this (previously undefined) 
variable, it will work as you expect.

With other words: You can (add-hook 'flyspell-prog-mode-hook ...) even
when flyspell-prog-mode-hook is void, without error.  And enabling
`flyspell-prog-mode' _will_ look at and use the binding.
