"Renaming" means the icu namespace is suffixed with the version number,
atm icu_55. Using "renaming" allows to use two different versions of ICU,
thus easing upgrades. For instance haikuwebkit uses a current version of ICU,
while the system uses a newer one after an upgrade.
* Replace all uses of the icu namespace in our public headers, with a macro
defaulting to icu. As the namespace is only used for private fields pointers,
there should be no impact.
* Locale kit *.cpp have to import the macro from <unicode/uversion.h> *before*
including any locale headers. Ditto for a Time preferences cpp file. This way,
the correct current icu namespace is referenced.
* Fixes bug #12057.
They are effectively the same thing, but int64 is more generic.
I used an off_t because that is what Tracker passed in, yet, this could be
used in other places where an off_t doesn't make as much sense.
Which doubles the maximum width fixing #11809. I wanted to convert this to
a variadic functionbut that would require updating all of the instance that use
MessageFormat or a clever hack to get around the ambiguity of an off_t
argument and an int argument count with 0 arguments. Either way seemed
out of the scope of fixing this bug.
Fixes#11809
Another Beta1 bug down!
The language and formatting conventions can now only be set when
creating the objects. This removed the needs for locking them when
formatting to avoid some other thread changing the format while it's
being used.
Adjust tests and DeskBar TimeView to the API changes.
* 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.
