There are a couple of differences here due to using ICU:
1. Titlecasing behaves slightly differently. We previously transformed
"123dollars" to "123Dollars", as we would use word segmentation to
split a string into words, then transform the first cased character
to titlecase. ICU doesn't go quite that far, and leaves the string
as "123dollars". While this is a behavior change, the only user of
this API is the `text-transform: capitalize;` CSS rule, and we now
match the behavior of other browsers.
2. There isn't an API to compare strings with case insensitivity without
allocating case-folded strings for both the left- and right-hand-side
strings. Our implementation was previously allocation-free; however,
in a benchmark, ICU is still ~1.4x faster.
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.DateTimeFormat `format` `formatToParts`,
`formatRange`, and `formatRangeToParts`.
This lets us remove most data from our date-time format generator. All
that remains are time zone data and locale week info, which are relied
upon still for other interfaces. 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 other browsers. This includes:
* Some very incorrect formatting of Japanese symbols. (Looking at the
old results now, it's very obvious they were wrong.)
* Old FIXMEs regarding range formatting not including the start/end date
when only time fields were requested, but the dates differ.
* Day period inconsistencies.
Methods and attributes marked with [FIXME] are now implemented as
direct properties with the value `undefined` and are marked with the
[[Unimplemented]] attribute. This allows accesses to these properties
to be reported, while having no other side-effects.
This fixes an issue where [FIXME] methods broke feature detection on
some sites.
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.
Note: We keep locale parsing and syntactic validation as-is. ECMA-402
places additional restrictions on locales above what is required by the
Unicode spec. ICU doesn't provide methods that let us easily check those
restrictions, whereas LibLocale does. Other browsers also implement
their own validators here.
This introduces a locale cache to re-use parsed locale data and various
related structures (not doing so has a non-negligible performance impact
on Intl tests).
The existing APIs for canonicalization and display names are pretty
intertwined, so they must both be adapted at once here. The results of
canonicalization are slightly different on some edge cases. But the
changed results are actually now aligned with Chrome and Safari.
The Encoding specification maps ISO-8859-1 to windows-1252 and expects
the windows-1252 translation table to be used, which differs from
ISO-8859-1 for 0x80-0x9F.
Other contexts expect to get the actual ISO-8859-1 encoding, with 1-to-1
mapping to U+0000-U+00FF, when requesting it.
`decoder_for_exact_name` is introduced, which skips the mapping from
aliases to the encoding name done by `get_standardized_encoding`.
This allows searching for text with case-insensitivity. As this is
probably what most users expect, the default behavior is changes to
perform case-insensitive lookups. Chromes may add UI to change the
behavior as they see fit.
This allows readonly attributes and functions to have a 'FIXME' extended
attribute added to the IDL definition to stub out the function. This
makes debugging web compatibility issues on live sites much easier as a
FIXME message is logged whenever one of these functions or attributes
are called.
Support still needs to be extended to non-readonly attributes (and some
other special cases), but this should allow us to set a big percentage
of the commented out attributes/functions in IDL files to instead use
this extended attribute.
