* Instead of parsing the pattern everytime Format() is called, parse it
only once when the object is created.
* Adjust all callers to make use of the feature and reuse the instance
as much as possible. This also allows calling B_TRANSLATE only once
instead of everytime the formatting needs to be done. We use either a
static instance (when the message pattern is constant) or a field (when
it is not known to be constant).
* Since the BMessageFormat instances are now reused, add locking to
avoid race conditions (ICU itself is thread safe, but the format pattern
is recreated when the locale is changed)
This can be used to format complex messages properly. It moves the
complexity of handling plural forms, gender, and anything else needed
into the localizable string, rather than hardcoding it in the code.
This moves the difficulty of handling these things properly to people
doing translations, rather than relying on developers to do it.
Fixes#10755, but our localization must now be updated to make use of
the feature.
* ... and adjust all callers
* Remove NumberFormatImpl: we rely on ICU to provide this and it can be
fully wrapped into the C++ file. The class was a stub anyway.
* "Monetary" format is included in NumberFormat for now. There may be a
more generic solution to handle monetary and BTimeUnitFormat (and other
arbitrary units)
* Harmonize API for all B*Format to take an output BString by reference
as the first parameter,
* Move the FormatTime methods from BLocale to BTimeFormat
* Adjust all callers for BTimeFormat, BTimeUnitFormat and
BDurationFormat.
* Move relevant parts up into BFormat so other format classes can use
those
* Adjust BDurationFormat and BTimeUnitFormat for the changes
* Remove the "default" date format, it is better to keep only a default
locale and let applications create B*Formats from it as needed.
* Creating a B*Format without arguments to the constructor now
configures it for the default locale, which allows for easy use in
standard cases (formatting something with the current language and
format)
* Creating a B*Format is potentially an expansive operation, it is
advised to keep the instance around and reuse it whenever possible.
However it must be "refreshed" when the locale changes, for apps which
supports that, since it keeps a copy of the language and formatting
convention, rather than a pointer to the locale as it did before.
* Add setters for the language and formatting conventions
* Add shortcut getter and setter for the date format
* Use those in the locale roster to make the BDateFormat actually use
the system preferred language and format.
* Applications can also use this to extract specific information from
the system format (eg. set date format to "LLLL" to extract month
names), or define specific formats more easily (eg. for parsing and
generating e-mail headers or HTTP cookies).
* Use a reference rather than a pointer for the output string, removing
the need for NULL checks (which were missing, anyway)
* Adjust callers to that change
* Add new Format variant taking a BDate argument
* There is a little code duplication. This will be moved to BFormat once
the time and datetime formatting is also moved out of BLocale
* The way to create a BDateFormat from a BLocale is still open for
discussion. I'm undecided between making BDateFormat a member of
BLocale, or adding a BDateFormat(const BLocale&) constructor.
* Adjust all users of the API.
Improve the unicode character processing and classifying routines by
wrapping up the UChar32 procedures from ICU. That fixes functional
regression introduced in hrev38017 and allows to fix East Asian Width
problems int the Temrinal.
* use only a single static object (MutableLocaleRoster) instead of
two, which avoids any problems if the order of static object
destruction would destroy RosterData before MutableLocaleRoster
* rename BPrivate::RosterData to BPrivate::LocaleRosterData and move
it into a header and implementation file of its own
This should hopefully fix problems encountered with a clang-compiled
Locale Kit.
* made private Catalog.h header public by moving it to
os/locale/tools/CollectingCatalog.h
* reintroduce B_COLLECTING_CATKEYS define (which is expected to be set
during a collectcatkeys session) in order to decide whether or not
to automatically include the CollecingCatalog.h header from Catalog.h
* adjust jam rule for collecting catalog keys accordingly
* rename B_TRANSLATE_CONTEXT to B_TRANSLATION_CONTEXT and
B_TRANSLATE_WITH_CONTEXT to B_TRANSLATE_CONTEXT, squashing a TODO
* adjust all uses of both macros in Haiku's source tree
* use correct header guard for collecting/Catalog.h
The renamed macros require adjustments to all external applications
using catalogs.
* move versions of the B_TRANSLATE_...-macros used during collecting
of catalog keys to a specific header file, which will only be picked
up when running collectcatkeys
* fix a couple of build problems during the preprocessing of the libbe-
sources when extracting catalog keys, all due to private headers not
being found
* move ZombieReplicantView.h from kits/interface to
headers/private/interface, as this way it can be picked up when
building the libbe catalog
* rename BCatalogAddOn to BCatalogData, since it doesn't represent an
add-on, but rather the catalog data provided by an add-on
* move BCatalogData out of Catalog.{h,cpp} into its own header and
implementation file
* drop BCatalogData::MarkForTranslation() methods, they're not needed
* drop BCatalog::GetNoAutoCollectString() methods, they're not being
used anywhere
* cleanup the B_TRANSLATE_... macros somewhat
* add versions of the B_TRANSLATE_MARK_... macros that are meant to be
used in void context (when the string isn't being used by the program,
just meant to be picked up by collectcatkeys).
* adjust several apps to use B_TRANSLATE_MARK_..._VOID where needed
* adjust users of BCatalogAddOn accordingly
* move EditableCatalog to its own header and implementation file
* move problematic BCatalog::CatalogAddOn() to EditableCatalog
* adjust Locale tools accordingly
Added two new methods to the Locale Kit in order to create a custom time
formats from a format string. One method is outputs into a char* array,
the other into a BString() and you can set the timezone.
These methods should be cleaned up, we only need 2, one to get
the time in a predefined style, the other to get a custom time format.
Also should probably do the same for dates and datetimes. But I'll let
this go for now.
I added myself to the Locale.cpp file. I retained the copyright instead
of assigning it to Haiku, Inc. because the file is under the OpenBeOS
license and I don't know what the concequences of copyright sharing are
for that license, unlike MIT.
These new methods are used to generate custom time formats in Deskbar.
Instead of using a set of Radio Buttons to choose between the predefined
time options I build my own by creating a format string and passing it
to the Locale Kit. The format string is generated from 3 checkboxes,
show seconds, show day of week, and show time zone. You can mix and match
between them choose any that you like. By default they are all off.
There are 3 new deskbar settings associated with these new options:
showSeconds, showDayOfWeek, and showTimeZone. timeFormat has gone away.
The time format string gets cached and updated only when Update() gets called
on the TimeView class.
In order to fit all the options in (there is 1 more than before) I had to
reduce the font size of the clock to 11pt when all options are turned on in
12 hour mode. For those with no imagination it looks like this:
http://imagebin.org/208162
Renamed "Open time preferences..." menuitem to "Time preferences...".
Renamed "Show Time" and "Hide Time" to "Show time" and "Hide time".
Other changes include refactoring the header files a bit. There were a lot
of headers included by header files uneccessarily. For instance BarWindow.h
now only includes <Window.h> and <Deskbar.h>. This change is mainly to
to speed up the compile time since it takes a while right now.
I copy the fBarView pointer from BarWindow in the BarApp constructor and then
use that throughout the file rather than getting the pointer from the window
each time by calling BarView(). BarView() is still available in the header
for other classes though.
I moved some message constants around since it was getting a bit jumbled.
Most of the messages related to settings are in PreferenceWindow.h.
fChangeState is moved to BarView.h since that is where the ChangeState()
function is and BarView.cpp uses that constant.
The time interval and format constants are in TimeView.h.
Make some methods public in their respective classes where it made sense.
The preference window methods to update dependent items are public, that
might get called from BarWindow when a message gets received at some point.
Also made ShowHideTime() and Time() public in StatusView.h. These methods
activate showing and hiding the clock and return the fTime clock object.
No reason they should be private.
I reindented the StatusView.h and PreferenceWindow.h headers to the standard
style. Question here, are the public: protected: and private: lines inside
of classes suppose to get indented 1 tab or not? I've seen both, the style
guide says no indent but 1 indent seems reasonable and looks pretty good.
Style fixes here and there. That's enough for one commit I think.
* use a locker to protect the CatalogAddOn-chain against parallel
access
* rename BCatalog::SetCatalog() to SetTo() and make it a proper
initializing function
* adjust implementation of BLocaleRoster accordingly
* unify pointer style (to type* )
* always use boolean expressions in if
* introduce some spacing for better readability
* make a couple inline methods non-inline
attribute/resource method in locale kit catalogs
* Only load the embedded catalog if nothing else was found, so it can easily
be overridden
* Change the resource type to 'CADA' (CAtalog DAta) for embedded catalogs, and
use a hash of the language code as the resource ID. This allows multiple
languages to be stored in the same file and does not interfere with the user
storing his own BMessages as resources.

Instead of computing the mime signature and giving this to the catalog system,
give an entry_ref instead. The default catalog add-on can thus look at the
right place when searching local catalogs (embedded as resources, or stored
as files next to the executable.
* This allows different versions of the same app to each have their own
catalog set,
* And also make the embedded/local catalog searching work for add-ons and
libs, instead it only worked for apps because of a getAppInfo call.
Fix cpufrequency to make use of it properly (that wouldhave worked without the
change, but nowit's mandatory, since loading a catlog by mimesignature is not
possible anymore).
Should fix#8037.

* support all weekdays as start of week, not only Sunday and Monday
(at least Saturday is used for real, too)
* introduce BWeekday as enumeration of weekdays (currently in Locale.h,
may be moved somewhere else later)
* change CalendarView to use BDate as its model, not individual values
for day, month and year, such that no more date computation is done
in CalendarView itself
* some more style cleanups in CalendarView along the way
* add monthwise paging to CalendarView
* adjusted Deskbar and Time preflet accordingly

for message formatting
* adjust LocaleKit to use namespace 'icu', as ICU has been configured to no longer
use a version specific namespace
* adjust LocaleKit to general API changes in ICU 4.8
Note: all software using ICU (like WebPositive) needs to be rebuilt!
Note: the ICU package for PPC needs to be updated before it can be used!

former just calls the latter. Getting the flag for a language is pretty
simplistic for now, but it won't return the wrong flag, just only a few known
ones (should be enough for ReadOnlyBootPrompt, at least).
* Ordered methods in declaration order.

* Disallow renaming of entries with localized names for now - this is meant to be temporary - and so far only in Tracker's Info window. Renames do not result in a change, visually, as the localized name hides the real name, and results in a bad user experience. One could possibly allow renames of the localized name, writing it back to the catalog. I've experimented with using BCatalogAddOn::SetString() but haven't been able to make it stick yet.
* Disallow renaming Trash in Tracker's Info window via Command-E.
* Adjust the argument order of BLocaleRoster::GetLocalizedFileName().
* Add a BLocaleRoster::GetLocalizedFileName() variant to look up another app's name given its signature and unlocalized, canonical name.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@41126 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* extracted new class BFormattingConventions from BCountry, which
manages the formatting conventions from a given locale and
allows to get/set the four different date/time formats supported
by ICU-locales as well as number and monetary formats
* overhauled the Locale preflet:
+ drop editing features for all formats, since I don't think
they do not make much sense to have in a prefs GUI - being
able to select from the existing locales should be good
enough. Please note that you can still change the formats
programmatically in an application.
+ renamed the 'Countries' tab to 'Formatting'
+ the locale formatting conventions list in the 'Formatting'
tab is now hierarchical for easier access (less scrolling)
+ fixed functionality of 'Revert' and 'Defaults' buttons
+ added support for using the month/day-names of your preferred
language during date formatting
* adjusted BLocale to ask BFormattingConventions for the current
formats when formatting dates and times and to offer 4
different format styles (full, long, medium and short).
* adjust all classes formatting dates/times to pick the
appropriate format style
* BLocaleRoster no longer directly archives/unarchives the
individual formatting conventions but delegates that to
BFormattingConventions
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@39123 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* BLocale now keeps language and country completely separate and
mixes the formatting conventions into the current language's locale
when formatting dates and times (needs to be done for number- and
currency-formatting, too, since the digits may not be in the
preferred language)
* optimized fetching of the flag icons such that they are all loaded
in one go (by the locale roster) - this alone speeds up the Locale
preflet considerably
* worked on fixing the language confusion in the Locale preflet
* fixed a couple of bugs in the Locale preflet that would lead to
illegal characters being displayed in the date-subpart menus
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@39013 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
in BLocale (which is accessible via be_locale)
* adjusted all users accordingly
