When formatting a currency style pattern with compact notation, we were
(trying to) doubly insert the currency symbol into the formatted string.
We would first look up the currency pattern in GetNumberFormatPattern
(for the en locale, this is "¤#,##0.00", which our generator transforms
to "{currency}{number}").
When we hit the "{number}" field, NumberFormat will do a second lookup
for the compact pattern to use for the number being formatted. By using
the currency compact patterns, we receive a second pattern that also has
the currency symbol (for the en locale, if formatting the number 1000,
this is "¤0K", which our generator transforms to
"{currency}{number}{compactIdentifier:0}". This second lookup is not
supposed to have currency symbols (or any other symbols), thus we hit a
VERIFY_NOT_REACHED().
Instead, we are meant to use the decimal compact pattern, and allow the
currency symbol to be handled by only the outer currency pattern.
There were some notable changes to the CLDR JSON format and data in this
release.
The patterns for a date at a specific time, i.e. "{date} at {time}", now
appear under the "atTime" attribute of the "dateTimeFormats" object.
Locale specific changes that affected test-js:
All locales:
* In many patterns, the code points U+00A0 (NO-BREAK SPACE) and U+202F
(NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE) are now used in place of an ASCII space. For
example, before the "dayPeriod" fields AM and PM.
* Separators such as U+2013 (EN DASH) are now surrounded by U+2009 (THIN
SPACE) in place of an ASCII space character.
Locale "en":
* Narrow localizations of time formats are even more narrow. For
example, the abbreviation "wk." for "week" is now just "wk".
Locale "ar":
* The code point U+060C (ARABIC COMMA) is now used in place of an ASCII
comma.
* The code point U+200F (RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK) now appears at the
beginning of many localizations.
* When the "latn" numbering system is used for currency formatting, the
currency symbol more consistently is placed at the end of the pattern.
Locale "he":
* The "many" plural rules category has been removed.
Locales "zh" and "es-419":
* Several display-name localizations were changed.
The largest exponents we compute are on the order of 10^21 (governed by
the maximumSignificantDigits option, which has a max value of 21). That
is too large to fit into the i64 we were using when multiplying this
exponent by the value to be formatted.
Instead, split up the logic to multiply that value by this exponent
based on the value's underlying type:
Number: Do not cast the result of pow() to an i64, and perform the
follow-up multiplication with doubles.
BigInt: Do not use pow(). Instead, compute the exponent as a BigInt
from the start, then perform the follow-up multiplication with that
BigInt.
For example, consider the locales "en-u-nu-fullwide" or "en-u-nu-arab".
The CLDR only declares the "latn" numbering system for the "en" locale,
thus ResolveLocale would change the locale to "en-u-nu-latn". This patch
allows using non-latn numbering systems digits.
In the main spec, [[UseGrouping]] can be true or false. In V3, it may be
one of:
auto: Respect the per-locale preference for grouping.
always: Ignore per-locale preference for grouping and always insert
the grouping separator (note: true is now an alias for always).
min2: Ignore per-locale preference for grouping and only insert the
grouping separator if the primary group has at least 2 digits.
false: Ignore per-locale preference for grouping and never insert
the grouping separator.
This contains minimal changes to parse newly added and modified options
from the Intl.NumberFormat V3 proposal, while maintaining main spec
behavior in Intl.NumberFormat.prototype.format. The parsed options are
reflected only in Intl.NumberFormat.prototype.resolvedOptions and the js
REPL.
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 ("$" vs. "USD" vs. "US dollar")
and other rules in the Unicode TR-35 spec.
ECMA-402 shies away from the nuances here with "implementation-defined"
steps. LibUnicode will store the data parsed from the CLDR however it is
presented; making decisions about spacing, etc. will occur at runtime
based on user input.
There is quite a lot to be done here so this is just a first pass at
number formatting. Decimal and percent formatting are mostly working,
but only for standard and compact notation (engineering and scientific
notation are not implemented here). Currency formatting is parsed, but
there is more work to be done to handle e.g. using symbols instead of
currency codes ("$" instead of "USD"), and putting spaces around the
currency symbol ("USD 2.00" instead of "USD2.00").
