This constructor has undergone a handful of editorial changes that we
fell behind on. But we weren't able to take the updates until now due to
a spec bug in those updates. See:
3f029b0
The result is that we can remove the inheritance of Intl::DateTimeFormat
from Unicode::DateTimeFormat; the former now contains the latter as an
internal slot.
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 includes:
* The minimum number of days in a week for that week to count as the
first week of a new year.
* The day to be shown as the first day of the week in a calendar.
* The start/end days of the weekend.
Like the existing hour cycle data, week data is presented per-region in
the CLDR, rather than per-locale. The method to add likely subtags to a
locale to perform region lookups is the same.
The list of regions in the CLDR for hour cycle, minimum days, first day,
and weekend days are quite different. So rather than changing the
existing HourCycleRegion enum to a generic Region enum, we generate
separate enums for each of the week data fields. This allows each lookup
into these fields to remain simple array-based index access, without any
"jumps" for regions that don't have CLDR data for a field.
BCP 47 will be the single source of truth for known calendar and number
system keywords, and their aliases (e.g. "gregory" is an alias for
"gregorian"). Move the generation of available keywords to where we
parse the BCP 47 data, so that hard-coded aliases may be removed from
other generators.
This adds an API to use LibTimeZone to convert a time zone such as
"America/New_York" to a GMT offset string like "GMT-5" (short form) or
"GMT-05:00" (long form).
LibUnicode no longer needs to generate a list of time zone names that it
parsed from metaZones.json. We can defer to the TZDB for a golden list
of time zones.
ECMA-402 now supports short-offset, long-offset, short-generic, and
long-generic time zone name formatting. For example, in the en-US locale
the America/Eastern time zone would be formatted as:
short-offset: GMT-5
long-offset: GMT-05:00
short-generic: ET
long-generic: Eastern Time
We currently only support the UTC time zone, however. Therefore, this
very minimal implementation does not consider GMT offset or generic
display names. Instead, the CLDR defines specific strings for UTC.
Similar to commit 2a7f36b392, this change moves the generated
CalendarSymbol enumeration to the public LibUnicode/NumberFormat.h
header with a pre-defined set of symbols that we need. This is to
prepare for uniquely generating the CalendarSymbols structure.
In the CLDR, there aren't "night" values, there are "night1" & "night2"
values. This is for locales which use a different name for nighttime
depending on the hour. For example, the ja locale uses "夜" between the
hours of 19:00 and 23:00, and "夜中" between the hours of 23:00 and
04:00. Our CLDR parser is currently ignoring "night2", so this rename
is to prepare for that.
We could probably come up with better names, but in the end, the API in
LibUnicode will be such that outside callers won't even see Night1, etc.
Pattern skeletons are more or less the "key" of format patterns. Every
format pattern is assigned a skeleton. Interval patterns (which are not
yet parsed) are also assigned a skeleton - this is used to match them to
an "owning" format pattern. So we will use the skeleton generated here
to match format patterns at runtime with their available interval
patterns.
An alternative approach would be to append interval patterns directly to
their owning format pattern, but this has some draw backs:
1. Skeletons aren't totally unique. A skeleton may appear in both
the "dateFormats" and "availableFormats" objects, in which case
the same interval formats would be generated more than once.
2. Otherwise unique format patterns may only differ by the interval
patterns assigned to them. This would cause the UniqueStorage for
the format patterns to increase in size, impacting both compile
times and libunicode.so size.
The parsing in parse_calendar_symbols() might be a bit more verbose than
it really needs to be, but it is to ensure the symbols are generated in
a known order that we can control with enumerations.
Unlike most data in the CLDR, hour cycles are not stored on a per-locale
basis. Instead, they are keyed by a string that is usually a region, but
sometimes is a locale. Therefore, given a locale, to determine the hour
cycles for that locale, we:
1. Check if the locale itself is assigned hour cycles.
2. If the locale has a region, check if that region is assigned hour
cycles.
3. Otherwise, maximize that locale, and if the maximized locale has
a region, check if that region is assigned hour cycles.
4. If the above all fail, fallback to the "001" region.
Further, each locale's default hour cycle is the first assigned hour
cycle.
