LibLocale was split off from LibUnicode a couple years ago to reduce the
number of applications on SerenityOS that depend on CLDR data. Now that
we use ICU, both LibUnicode and LibLocale are actually linking in this
data. And since vcpkg gives us static libraries, both libraries are over
30MB in size.
This patch reverts the separation and merges LibLocale into LibUnicode
again. We now have just one library that includes the ICU data.
Further, this will let LibUnicode share the locale cache that previously
would only exist in LibLocale.
This uses ICU for all of the Intl.PluralRules prototypes, which lets us
remove all data from our plural rules generator.
Plural rules depend directly on internal data from the number formatter,
so rather than creating a separate Locale::PluralRules class (which will
make accessing that data awkward), this adds plural rules APIs to the
existing Locale::NumberFormat.
This uses ICU for the Intl.NumberFormat `format` and `formatToParts`
prototypes. It does not yet port the range formatter prototypes.
Most of the new code in LibLocale/NumberFormat is simply mapping from
ECMA-402 types to ICU types. Beyond that, the only algorithmic change is
that we have to mutate the output from ICU for `formatToParts` to match
what is expected by ECMA-402. This is explained in NumberFormat.cpp in
`flatten_partitions`.
This lets us remove most data from our number format generator. All that
remains are numbering system digits and symbols, which are relied upon
still for other interfaces (e.g. Intl.DateTimeFormat). So they will be
removed in a future patch.
Note: All of the changes to the test files in this patch are now aligned
with both Chrome and Safari.
This patch adds two macros to declare per-type allocators:
- JS_DECLARE_ALLOCATOR(TypeName)
- JS_DEFINE_ALLOCATOR(TypeName)
When used, they add a type-specific CellAllocator that the Heap will
delegate allocation requests to.
The result of this is that GC objects of the same type always end up
within the same HeapBlock, drastically reducing the ability to perform
type confusion attacks.
It also improves HeapBlock utilization, since each block now has cells
sized exactly to the type used within that block. (Previously we only
had a handful of block sizes available, and most GC allocations ended
up with a large amount of slack in their tails.)
There is a small performance hit from this, but I'm sure we can make
up for it elsewhere.
Note that the old size-based allocators still exist, and we fall back
to them for any type that doesn't have its own CellAllocator.
This is a normative change in the Intl.NumberFormat V3 spec. See:
08f599b
Note that this didn't seem to actually affect our implementation. The
Unicode spec states:
https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-53/tr35-numbers.html#Plural_Ranges
"If there is no value for a <start,end> pair, the default result is end"
Therefore, our implementation did not have the behavior noted by the
issue this normative change addressed:
const pr = new Intl.PluralRules("en-US");
pr.selectRange(1, 1); // Is "other", should be "one"
Our implementation already returned "one" here because there is no such
<start=one, end=one> value in the CLDR for en-US. Thus, we already
returned the end value of "one".
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Instead of passing a GlobalObject everywhere, we will simply pass a VM,
from which we can get everything we need: common names, the current
realm, symbols, arguments, the heap, and a few other things.
In some places we already don't actually need a global object and just
do it for consistency - no more `auto& vm = global_object.vm();`!
This will eventually automatically fix the "wrong realm" issue we have
in some places where we (incorrectly) use the global object from the
allocating object, e.g. in call() / construct() implementations. When
only ever a VM is passed around, this issue can't happen :^)
I've decided to split this change into a series of patches that should
keep each commit down do a somewhat manageable size.
The NumberFormat spec casually indicates the need for a PluralRules
object without explicity saying so, with text such as:
"which may depend on x in languages having different plural forms."
Other implementations actually do create a PluralRules object to resolve
those cases with ResolvePlural. However, ResolvePlural doesn't need much
from PluralRules to operate, so this can be abstracted out for use in
NumberFormat without the need to allocate a PluralRules instance.
The JS::Intl enum was added when implementing the PluralRules
constructor. Now that LibUnicode has a plural rules implementation,
replace the JS::Intl enum with the analagous Unicode enum.
