unicodedata: Fix Bidirectional, improve parser - #8548
Conversation
We can save space by calculating the diffs between modern Unicode and 3.2.0 and storing membership information where valid. This avoids storing entire tables for 3.2.0, and is also more correct in the long run since it handles absence from 3.2.0 correctly. I switched over Bidi to this new method which partially fixed the test. Unfortunately, our Unicode data is more up to date than Python 3.14 so the test fails for modern Unicode. It should pass with 3.15's tests.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Unicode build script now generates Unicode 3.2 membership and bidi-difference tables. Runtime property queries use shared differential lookup logic with Unicode 3.2 membership fallback. ChangesUnicode 3.2 legacy lookup
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR changes Unicode 3.2 membership generation, but interior code points in First/Last ranges are currently omitted, causing valid characters to receive incorrect legacy bidirectional values.

Handle UnicodeData First and Last ranges before writing membership.
parse_unicode_3_2 reports <..., First> and <..., Last> as separate single-code-point records. Lines 223-229 insert only those endpoints. The generated membership table therefore excludes every interior code point in these ranges.
This makes legacy fallback fail for valid Unicode 3.2 characters such as interior CJK ideographs. crates/unicode/src/data.rs then treats them as absent and can return the default bidi value instead of the Unicode 3.2 value.
Parse each First and Last pair as one inclusive membership range.

I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but it doesn't seem right? My binary search works via ranges rather than only considering the endpoints - if it didn't, the UCD fixes from my previous patch wouldn't have worked. I'll address this later if it's correct.

@joshuamegnauth54, your binary search is correct. The problem is the generated input ranges.
UnicodeData-3.2.0.txt stores large ranges as separate records. For example:
4E00;<CJK Ideograph, First>9FA5;<CJK Ideograph, Last>
parse_unicode_3_2 parses both records as single-code-point ranges. The generator then stores (0x4E00, 0x4E00) and (0x9FA5, 0x9FA5). It does not store (0x4E00, 0x9FA5).
Therefore, membership_3_2 correctly searches ranges, but it returns false for interior characters such as U+4E01. The BIDI_CLASS_DIFF table may still cover some cases, but the membership fallback is incomplete for these ranges.
The finding remains valid. Please address it when convenient.

I'll handle the unexpected success tomorrow. I'll probably have to skip the test because 3.2.0 passes but modern Unicode fails because the test is for 3.14 whereas our data is aligned with Python 3.15. |
