# The hashes are stored as utf8 strings.  This makes it easier to deal with
# sequences.  I (khw) also tried making Name.pl utf8, but it slowed things
# down by a factor of 7.  I then tried making Name.pl store the ut8
# equivalents but not calling them utf8.  That led to similar speed as leaving
# it alone, but since that is harder for a human to parse, I left it as-is.

my $txt;  # The table of official character names

my %full_names_cache; # Holds already-looked-up names, so don't have to
# re-look them up again.  The previous versions of charnames had scoping
# bugs.  For example if we use script A in one scope and find and cache
# what Z resolves to, we can't use that cache in a different scope that
# uses script B instead of A, as Z might be an entirely different letter
# there; or there might be different aliases in effect in different
# scopes, or :short may be in effect or not effect in different scopes,
# or various combinations thereof.  This was solved in this version
# mostly by moving things to %^H.  But some things couldn't be moved
# there.  One of them was the cache of runtime looked-up names, in part
# because %^H is read-only at runtime.  I (khw) don't know why the cache
# was run-time only in the previous versions: perhaps oversight; perhaps
# that compile time looking doesn't happen in a loop so didn't think it
# was worthwhile; perhaps not wanting to make the cache too large.  But
# I decided to make it compile time as well; this could easily be
# changed.
# Anyway, this hash is not scoped, and is added to at runtime.  It
# doesn't have scoping problems because the data in it is restricted to
# official names, which are always invariant, and we only set it and
# look at it at during :full lookups, so is unaffected by any other
# scoped options.  I put this in to maintain parity with the older
# version.  If desired, a %short_names cache could also be made, as well
# as one for each script, say in %script_names_cache, with each key
# being a hash for a script named in a 'use charnames' statement.  I
# decided not to do that for now, just because it's added complication,
# and because I'm just trying to maintain parity, not extend it.

 print charnames::string_vianame("LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A"); # prints "A"

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Pragma C<use charnames> is used to gain access to the names of the
Unicode characters and named character sequences, and to allow you to define
your own character and character sequence names.

All forms of the pragma enable use of the following 3 functions:

=over

=item *

L</charnames::string_vianame(I<name>)> for run-time lookup of a
either a character name or a named character sequence, returning its string
representation

=item *

L</charnames::vianame(I<name>)> for run-time lookup of a
character name (but not a named character sequence) to get its ordinal value
(code point)

=item *

L</charnames::viacode(I<code>)> for run-time lookup of a code point to get its
Unicode name.

=back

All forms other than C<S<"use charnames ();">> also enable the use of
C<\N{I<CHARNAME>}> sequences to compile a Unicode character into a
string, based on its name.

Note that C<\N{U+I<...>}>, where the I<...> is a hexadecimal number,
also inserts a character into a string, but doesn't require the use of
this pragma.  The character it inserts is the one whose code point
(ordinal value) is equal to the number.  For example, C<"\N{U+263a}"> is
the Unicode (white background, black foreground) smiley face; it doesn't
require this pragma, whereas the equivalent, C<"\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}">
does.
Also, C<\N{I<...>}> can mean a regex quantifier instead of a character
name, when the I<...> is a number (or comma separated pair of numbers
(see L<perlreref/QUANTIFIERS>), and is not related to this pragma.

The C<charnames> pragma supports arguments C<:full>, C<:short>, script
names and customized aliases.  If C<:full> is present, for expansion of
C<\N{I<CHARNAME>}>, the string I<CHARNAME> is first looked up in the list of
standard Unicode character names.  If C<:short> is present, and
I<CHARNAME> has the form C<I<SCRIPT>:I<CNAME>>, then I<CNAME> is looked up
as a letter in script I<SCRIPT>.  If C<use charnames> is used
with script name arguments, then for C<\N{I<CHARNAME>}> the name
I<CHARNAME> is looked up as a letter in the given scripts (in the
specified order). Customized aliases can override these, and are explained in
L</CUSTOM ALIASES>.

For lookup of I<CHARNAME> inside a given script I<SCRIPTNAME>
this pragma looks for the names

  SCRIPTNAME CAPITAL LETTER CHARNAME
  SCRIPTNAME SMALL LETTER CHARNAME
  SCRIPTNAME LETTER CHARNAME

in the table of standard Unicode names.  If I<CHARNAME> is lowercase,
then the C<CAPITAL> variant is ignored, otherwise the C<SMALL> variant
is ignored.

Note that C<\N{...}> is compile-time; it's a special form of string
constant used inside double-quotish strings; this means that you cannot
use variables inside the C<\N{...}>.  If you want similar run-time
functionality, use
L<charnames::string_vianame()|/charnames::string_vianame(I<name>)>.

For the C0 and C1 control characters (U+0000..U+001F, U+0080..U+009F)
there are no official Unicode names but you can use instead the ISO 6429
names (LINE FEED, ESCAPE, and so forth, and their abbreviations, LF,
ESC, ...).  In Unicode 3.2 (as of Perl 5.8) some naming changes took
place, and ISO 6429 was updated, see L</ALIASES>.

If the input name is unknown, C<\N{NAME}> raises a warning and
substitutes the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (U+FFFD).

For C<\N{NAME}>, it is a fatal error if C<use bytes> is in effect and the
input name is that of a character that won't fit into a byte (i.e., whose
ordinal is above 255).

Otherwise, any string that includes a C<\N{I<charname>}> or
C<S<\N{U+I<code point>}>> will automatically have Unicode semantics (see
L<perlunicode/Byte and Character Semantics>).

=head1 ALIASES

A few aliases have been defined for convenience: instead of having
to use the official names

    LINE FEED (LF)
    FORM FEED (FF)
    CARRIAGE RETURN (CR)
    NEXT LINE (NEL)

(yes, with parentheses), one can use

    LINE FEED
    FORM FEED
    CARRIAGE RETURN
    NEXT LINE
    LF
    FF
    CR
    NEL

All the other standard abbreviations for the controls, such as C<ACK> for
C<ACKNOWLEDGE> also can be used.

One can also use

    BYTE ORDER MARK
    BOM

and these abbreviations

but the old names in addition to giving the character
will also give a warning about being deprecated.

And finally, certain published variants are usable, including some for
controls that have no Unicode names:

=head1 CUSTOM ALIASES

You can add customized aliases to standard (C<:full>) Unicode naming
conventions.  The aliases override any standard definitions, so, if
you're twisted enough, you can change C<"\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A}"> to
mean C<"B">, etc.

Note that an alias should not be something that is a legal curly
brace-enclosed quantifier (see L<perlreref/QUANTIFIERS>).  For example
C<\N{123}> means to match 123 non-newline characters, and is not treated as a
charnames alias.  Aliases are discouraged from beginning with anything
other than an alphabetic character and from containing anything other
than alphanumerics, spaces, dashes, parentheses, and underscores.
Currently they must be ASCII.

An alias can map to either an official Unicode character name or to a
numeric code point (ordinal).  The latter is useful for assigning names
to code points in Unicode private use areas such as U+E800 through
U+F8FF.
A numeric code point must be a non-negative integer or a string beginning
with C<"U+"> or C<"0x"> with the remainder considered to be a
hexadecimal integer.  A literal numeric constant must be unsigned; it
will be interpreted as hex if it has a leading zero or contains
non-decimal hex digits; otherwise it will be interpreted as decimal.

Aliases are added either by the use of anonymous hashes:

    use charnames ":alias" => {
        e_ACUTE => "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE",
        mychar1 => 0xE8000,
        };
    my $str = "\N{e_ACUTE}";

or by using a file containing aliases:

    use charnames ":alias" => "pro";

This will try to read C<"unicore/pro_alias.pl"> from the C<@INC> path. This
file should return a list in plain perl:

    (
    A_GRAVE         => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE",
    A_CIRCUM        => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX",
    A_DIAERES       => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS",
    A_TILDE         => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDE",
    A_BREVE         => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE",
    A_RING          => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE",
    A_MACRON        => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON",
    mychar2         => "U+E8001",
    );

Both these methods insert C<":full"> automatically as the first argument (if no
other argument is given), and you can give the C<":full"> explicitly as
well, like

    use charnames ":full", ":alias" => "pro";

Also, both these methods currently allow only a single character to be named.
To name a sequence of characters, use a
L<custom translator|/CUSTOM TRANSLATORS> (described below).

=head1 charnames::viacode(I<code>)

Returns the full name of the character indicated by the numeric code.
For example,

    print charnames::viacode(0x2722);

prints "FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK".

The name returned is the official name for the code point, if
available; otherwise your custom alias for it.  This means that your
alias will only be returned for code points that don't have an official
Unicode name (nor Unicode version 1 name), such as private use code
points, and the 4 control characters U+0080, U+0081, U+0084, and U+0099.
If you define more than one name for the code point, it is indeterminate
which one will be returned.

The function returns C<undef> if no name is known for the code point.
In Unicode the proper name of these is the empty string, which
C<undef> stringifies to.  (If you ask for a code point past the legal
Unicode maximum of U+10FFFF that you haven't assigned an alias to, you
get C<undef> plus a warning.)

The input number must be a non-negative integer or a string beginning
with C<"U+"> or C<"0x"> with the remainder considered to be a
hexadecimal integer.  A literal numeric constant must be unsigned; it
will be interpreted as hex if it has a leading zero or contains
non-decimal hex digits; otherwise it will be interpreted as decimal.

Notice that the name returned for of U+FEFF is "ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK
SPACE", not "BYTE ORDER MARK".

=head1 charnames::string_vianame(I<name>)

This is a runtime equivalent to C<\N{...}>.  I<name> can be any expression
that evaluates to a name accepted by C<\N{...}> under the L<C<:full>
option|/DESCRIPTION> to C<charnames>.  In addition, any other options for the
controlling C<"use charnames"> in the same scope apply, like any L<script
list, C<:short> option|/DESCRIPTION>, or L<custom aliases|/CUSTOM ALIASES> you
may have defined.

The only difference is that if the input name is unknown, C<string_vianame>
returns C<undef> instead of the REPLACEMENT CHARACTER and does not raise a
warning message.

=head1 charnames::vianame(I<name>)

This is similar to C<string_vianame>.  The main difference is that under most
circumstances (see L</BUGS> for the others), vianame returns an ordinal code
point, whereas C<string_vianame> returns a string.  For example,

   printf "U+%04X", charnames::vianame("FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK");

prints "U+2722".

This leads to the other two differences.  Since a single code point is
returned, the function can't handle named character sequences, as these are
composed of multiple characters.  And, the code point can be that of any
character, even ones that aren't legal under the C<S<use bytes>> pragma,

=head1 CUSTOM TRANSLATORS

The mechanism of translation of C<\N{...}> escapes is general and not
hardwired into F<charnames.pm>.  A module can install custom
translations (inside the scope which C<use>s the module) with the
following magic incantation:

    sub import {
        shift;
        $^H{charnames} = \&translator;
    }

Here translator() is a subroutine which takes I<CHARNAME> as an
argument, and returns text to insert into the string instead of the
C<\N{I<CHARNAME>}> escape.  Since the text to insert should be different
in C<bytes> mode and out of it, the function should check the current
state of C<bytes>-flag as in:

    use bytes ();                      # for $bytes::hint_bits
    sub translator {
        if ($^H & $bytes::hint_bits) {
            return bytes_translator(@_);
        }
        else {
            return utf8_translator(@_);
        }
    }

See L</CUSTOM ALIASES> above for restrictions on I<CHARNAME>.

Of course, C<vianame>, C<viacode>, and C<string_vianame> would need to be
overridden as well.

=head1 BUGS

vianame normally returns an ordinal code point, but when the input name is of
the form C<U+...>, it returns a chr instead.  In this case, if C<use bytes> is
in effect and the character won't fit into a byte, it returns C<undef> and
raises a warning.

Names must be ASCII characters only, which means that you are out of luck if
you want to create aliases in a language where some or all the characters of
the desired aliases are non-ASCII.

Since evaluation of the translation function (see L</CUSTOM
TRANSLATORS>) happens in the middle of compilation (of a string
literal), the translation function should not do any C<eval>s or
C<require>s.  This restriction should be lifted (but is low priority) in
a future version of Perl.
