This is a non-functional change. It changes the way how case folding data
and weight data (for simple Unicode collations) are stored:
- Removing data types MY_UNICASE_CHARACTER, MY_UNICASE_INFO
- Using data types MY_CASEFOLD_CHARACTER, MY_CASEFOLD_INFO instead.
This patch changes simple Unicode collations in a similar way
how MDEV-30695 previously changed Asian collations.
No new MTR tests are needed. The underlying code is thoroughly
covered by a number of ctype_*_ws.test and ctype_*_casefold.test
files, which were added recently as a preparation
for this change.
Old and new Unicode data layout
-------------------------------
Case folding data is now stored in separate tables
consisting of MY_CASEFOLD_CHARACTER elements with two members:
typedef struct casefold_info_char_t
{
uint32 toupper;
uint32 tolower;
} MY_CASEFOLD_CHARACTER;
while weight data (for simple non-UCA collations xxx_general_ci
and xxx_general_mysql500_ci) is stored in separate arrays of
uint16 elements.
Before this change case folding data and simple weight data were
stored together, in tables of the following elements with three members:
typedef struct unicase_info_char_st
{
uint32 toupper;
uint32 tolower;
uint32 sort; /* weights for simple collations */
} MY_UNICASE_CHARACTER;
This data format was redundant, because weights (the "sort" member) were
needed only for these two simple Unicode collations:
- xxx_general_ci
- xxx_general_mysql500_ci
Adding case folding information for Unicode-14.0.0 using the old
format would waste memory without purpose.
Detailed changes
----------------
- Changing the underlying data types as described above
- Including unidata-dump.c into the sources.
This program was earlier used to dump UnicodeData.txt
(e.g. https://www.unicode.org/Public/14.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt)
into MySQL / MariaDB source files.
It was originally written in 2002, but has not been distributed yet
together with MySQL / MariaDB sources.
- Removing the old format Unicode data earlier dumped from UnicodeData.txt
(versions 3.0.0 and 5.2.0) from ctype-utf8.c.
Adding Unicode data in the new format into separate header files,
to maintain the code easier:
- ctype-unicode300-casefold.h
- ctype-unicode300-casefold-tr.h
- ctype-unicode300-general_ci.h
- ctype-unicode300-general_mysql500_ci.h
- ctype-unicode520-casefold.h
- Adding a new file ctype-unidata.c as an aggregator for
the header files listed above.
