1402271 - Remove support for non-ICU unicode character property tables.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, enhancement)

Description

[Jonathan Kew [:jfkthame]]

We no longer need to maintain all the Unicode character property tables for category, script, bidi, etc., etc.; we only need to manage a couple of properties that ICU doesn't readily expose. So we can simplify the maintenance tool, and then regenerate the data files without the non-ICU sections.

Attachment: Simplify the genUnicodePropertyData.pl tool to generate only the data we need to supplement ICU properties

Comment 2

Attachment: patch 2 - Regenerate Unicode data tables with the stripped-down tool

Comment 3

[Jonathan Kew [:jfkthame]]

Attachment: patch 3 - Remove non-ENABLE_INTL_API code paths from the nsUnicodeProperties code

And with the legacy data tables gone, we no longer need the corresponding accessor code in nsUnicodeProperties, so we can drop all that.
