Most locales have a single grouping size (the number of integer digits
to be written before inserting a grouping separator). However some have
a primary and secondary size. We parse the primary size as the size used
for the least significant integer digits, and the secondary size for the
most significant.
In order to implement Intl.NumberFormat.prototype.formatToParts, do not
replace {currency} keys in the format pattern before ECMA-402 tells us
to. Otherwise, the array return by formatToParts will not contain the
expected currency key.
Early replacement was done to avoid resolving the currency display more
than once, as it involves a couple of round trips to search through
LibUnicode data. So this adds a non-standard method to NumberFormat to
do this resolution and cache the result.
Another side effect of this change is that LibUnicode must replace unit
format patterns of the form "{0} {1}" during code generation. These were
previously skipped during code generation because LibJS would just
replace the keys with the currency display at runtime. But now that the
currency display injection is delayed, any {0} or {1} keys in the format
pattern will cause PartitionNumberPattern to abort.
Previously, we were checking if the code point immediately before/after
the {currency} key was U+00A0 (non-breaking space). Instead, to handle
other spacing code points, we must check if the surrounding code point
has the separator general category.
When I originally wrote this method, I had it in LibJS, where we can't
refer to the GeneralCategory enumeration directly. This is a big TODO,
anyone outside of LibUnicode can't assume the generated enumerations
exist and must get these values by string lookup. But this function
ended up living in LibUnicode, who can reference the enumeration.
Currencies are a bit strange; the layout of currency data in the CLDR is
not particularly compatible with what ECMA-402 expects. For example, the
currency format in the "en" and "ar" locales for the Latin script are:
en: "¤#,##0.00"
ar: "¤\u00A0#,##0.00"
Note how the "ar" locale has a non-breaking space after the currency
symbol (¤), but "en" does not. This does not mean that this space will
appear in the "ar"-formatted string, nor does it mean that a space won't
appear in the "en"-formatted string. This is a runtime decision based on
the currency display chosen by the user ("$" vs. "USD" vs. "US dollar")
and other rules in the Unicode TR-35 spec.
ECMA-402 shies away from the nuances here with "implementation-defined"
steps. LibUnicode will store the data parsed from the CLDR however it is
presented; making decisions about spacing, etc. will occur at runtime
based on user input.
These are used when formatting a number as currency with a display
option of "name" (e.g. for USD, the name is "US Dollars" in en-US).
These patterns appear in the CLDR in a different manner than other
number formats that are pluralized. They are of the form "{0} {1}",
therefore do not undergo subpattern replacements.
Currently, LibUnicode is only parsing and generating the "long" style of
currency display names. However, the CLDR contains "short" and "narrow"
forms as well that need to be handled. Parse these, and update LibJS to
actually respect the "style" option provided by the user for displaying
currencies with Intl.DisplayNames.
Note: There are some discrepencies between the engines on how style is
handled. In particular, running:
new Intl.DisplayNames('en', {type:'currency', style:'narrow'}).of('usd')
Gives:
SpiderMoney: "USD"
V8: "US Dollar"
LibJS: "$"
And running:
new Intl.DisplayNames('en', {type:'currency', style:'short'}).of('usd')
Gives:
SpiderMonkey: "$"
V8: "US Dollar"
LibJS: "$"
My best guess is V8 isn't handling style, and just returning the long
form (which is what LibJS did before this commit). And SpiderMoney can
handle some styles, but if they don't have a value for the requested
style, they fall back to the canonicalized code passed into of().
This will be needed for the ComputeExponentForMagnitude AO for compact
formatting, namely step 5b:
Let exponent be an implementation- and locale-dependent (ILD) integer
by which to scale a number of the given magnitude in compact notation
for the current locale.
A number formatting pattern in the CLDR contains one or two entries,
delimited by a semi-colon. Previously, LibUnicode was just storing the
entire pattern as one string. This changes the generator to split the
pattern on that delimiter and generate the 3 unique patterns expected by
ECMA-402.
The rules for generating the 3 patterns are as follows:
* If the pattern contains 1 entry, it is the zero pattern. The positive
pattern is the zero pattern prepended with {plusSign}. The negative
pattern is the zero pattern prepended with {minusSign}.
* If the pattern contains 2 entries, the first is the zero pattern, and
the second is the negative pattern. The positive pattern is the zero
pattern prepended with {plusSign}.
The number system data in the CLDR contains information on how to format
numbers in a locale-dependent manner. Start parsing this data, beginning
with numeric symbol strings. For example the symbol NaN maps to "NaN" in
the en-US locale, and "非數值" in the zh-Hant locale.
There are only 112 code points with special casing rules, so this array
is quite small (compared to the size 34,626 UnicodeData hash map that is
also storing this data). Removing all casing rules from UnicodeData will
happen in a subsequent commit.
Currently, all casing information (simple and special) are stored in a
compile-time array of size 34,626, then statically copied to a hash map
at runtime. In an effort to reduce the resulting memory usage, store the
simple casing rules in standalone compile-time arrays. The uppercase map
is size 1,450 and the lowercase map is size 1,433. Any code point not in
a map will implicitly have an identity mapping.
This data is published under ISO-4217 as an XML file. Since we can't
parse XML files yet, and the data isn't very large, it was translated to
C++ manually here.
LibJS will need to canonicalize Unicode extension values, so extract the
lambda that was doing this work to its own function. This also changes
the helpers it invokes to take the provided key as a StringView because
we don't need (and won't always have) full String objects here.
Previously, LibUnicode would store the values of a keyword as a Vector.
For example, the locale "en-u-ca-abc-def" would have its keyword "ca"
stored as {"abc, "def"}. Then, canonicalization would occur on each of
the elements in that Vector.
This is incorrect because, for example, the keyword value "true" should
only be dropped if that is the entire value. That is, the canonical form
of "en-u-kb-true" is "en-u-kb", but "en-u-kb-abc-true" does not change
for canonicalization. However, we would canonicalize that locale as
"en-u-kb-abc".
LibUnicode has to hard-code some aliases because the related data is not
available in the JSON export of CLDR. Turns out there is a ticket to add
this data in an upcoming CLDR release. Add a link to that ticket for
reference.
This data informs consumers how to join lists of values. For example,
in en-US, the list ["a", "b", "c"] formatted to a string should become
"a, b, and c".
Note that the algorithm in the Unicode spec is for checking that a code
point precedes U+0307, but the special casing condition NotBeforeDot is
interested in the inverse of this rule.
The UnicodeLocale generator will need to parse canonicalized locale
strings, and will require using these methods. However, the generator
cannot depend on LibUnicode because Locale.cpp within LibUnicode already
depends on the generated file. Instead, defining the methods that the
generator needs inline allows the generator to use them without linking
against LibUnicode.
Add a method to remove an extension type from the locale's extension set
and methods to convert a locale and language to a string without
canonicalization. Each of these will be used by LibJS.
CLDR contains a set of likely subtag data where, given a locale, you can
resolve what is the most likely language, script, or territory of that
locale. This data is needed for resolving territory aliases. These
aliases might contain multiple territories, and we need to resolve which
of those territories is most likely correct for a locale.
Note that the likely subtag data is quite huge (a few thousand entries).
As an optimization encouraged by the spec, we only generate the smallest
subset of this data that we actually need (about 150 entries).
Most alias substitutions are "simple", meaning that alias matching is
done by examining a single locale subtag. However, there are a handful
of "complex" aliases where matching is done by examining multiple
subtags. For example, the variant subtag "lojban" causes the locale
"art-lojban" to be canonicalized to "jbo", but only when the language
subtag is "art" (i.e. this should not occur for the locale "en-lojban").
This generates a method to perform complex alias matching.
Calendar subtags are a bit of an odd-man-out in that we must match the
variants "ethiopic-amete-alem" in that order, without any other variant
in the locale. So a separate method is needed for this, and we now defer
sorting the variant list until after other canonicalization is done.
