infallible new_root

[SATVIKsynopsis]

Fixes #6633

This PR adds a const, infallible CollatorBorrowed::new_root() constructor backed by baked root collation data.

The implementation mirrors the invariants enforced in try_new() but avoids locale resolution and fallible paths.

Note on diacritics:
Root diacritics are included explicitly to match the invariants expected by the comparison pipeline and the existing baked data runtime path. also, there is no separate root specific baked diacritics singleton, so the default baked diacritics payload is used.

[SATVIKsynopsis]

I hit one design question while making up CollatorBorrowed::new_root that root collation requires diacritics data to satisfy the comparison invariants, but CollationDiacriticsV1 isn’t currently exposed as a baked singleton unlike others.

For new_root, should diacritics be treated as a singleton baked value, or loaded via locale fallback even in the root only path?

I paused changes here to align with the intended data model.

@robertbastian Does databake support making a const accessor for the root diacritic table even if we also have a locale override for it for Vietnamese?

[robertbastian]

Yes, like so

expose_baked_consts = true,

[SATVIKsynopsis]

Thanks. I will wire this up using expose_baked_consts = true for CollationDiacriticsV1 and update the PR.

[robertbastian]

please put this behind an unstable feature, I don't think we have decided on the name of the method, and whether it should live on Collator or CollatorBorrowed.

[robertbastian]

this is all obvious from the signature, I don't think we need to repeat this

you do need to add the "enabled with feature" snippet to the docs though

[SATVIKsynopsis]

I have gated it behind unstable and added feature snippet in the docs.

[SATVIKsynopsis]

Thanks. one clarification on the remaining ci failures.

even with new_root() gated behind unstable, ci still builds the full suite and fails.

should this be resolved by either enabling expose_baked_consts = true for CollationDiacriticsV1, or using a different access pattern for root diacritics in a const context.

happy to adjust the implementation once the intended approach is confirmed.

[SATVIKsynopsis]

Gentle follow up on this: CI is still failing due to SINGLETON_COLLATION_DIACRITICS_V1 not being available on provider::Baked, even with new_root() gated behind unstable.

To unblock the PR, should I, enable expose_baked_consts = true for CollationDiacriticsV1, or refactor to avoid requiring root diacritics in a const context?

Happy to implement whichever direction you prefer.

[robertbastian]

To unblock the PR, should I, enable expose_baked_consts = true for CollationDiacriticsV1

yes, I already said that last week and you already said that you were going to do it

[SATVIKsynopsis]

Got it. thanks for confirming.
I will enable expose_baked_consts = true for CollationDiacriticsV1 and update the PR accordingly.

[SATVIKsynopsis]

After investigation, expose_baked_consts = true doesn't generate SINGLETON_COLLATION_DIACRITICS_V1 for CollationDiacriticsV1 because it has locale variants and uses a trie based lookup rather than a singleton.
I have two approaches, hardcode the root diacritics bytes directly as a const in new_root() or different approach you may prefer.

Happy to adjust to suggested changes.

[robertbastian]

it doesn't generate a singleton but it generates a const for each locale. have a look at the generated code

[SATVIKsynopsis]

I checked the generated data, CollationDiacriticsV1 is non singleton and only accessible via the provider and it has no per locale const like jamo. because of that, new_root() can’t pick und diacritics directly.

should new_root() stay const and defer diacritics loading, or is it ok to make it non const and load diacritics via the provider.

thanks

[hsivonen]

I think to achieve the goal of the issue, new_root should load diacritics as const, so the diacritics of for root need to become const-reachable somehow. ("How" is a question for @robertbastian rather than me.)

[SATVIKsynopsis]

Thanks, that makes sense.

I agree that new_root should remain const, which implies root diacritics need to become const-reachable.

I will wait for guidance on the preferred mechanism before making further changes.

[robertbastian]

I checked the generated data, CollationDiacriticsV1 is non singleton and only accessible via the provider and it has no per locale const like jamo. because of that, new_root() can’t pick und diacritics directly.

because you haven't regenerated the data since you changed the config. are you aware that CI is failing?

[SATVIKsynopsis]

I have regenerated the required baked data for CollationDiacriticsV1 and updated new_root() to use COLLATION_DIACRITICS_V1_UND.

The remaining CI failures are in clippy / docs / msrv / full datagen. clippy is currently complaining about missing_docs coming from the generated impl_collation_diacritics_v1!(Baked) constants.

before allowing missing_docs for these generated baked constants, I wanted to check that is this the expected fix here, or is there a preferred pattern for documenting non singleton baked data?

[robertbastian]

I don't have the capacity to answer questions for every tiny step. just do something, we can then see if it's ok

[SATVIKsynopsis]

I don't have the capacity to answer questions for every tiny step. just do something, we can then see if it's ok

I understand. i will come up with a fix and do this right away.

[SATVIKsynopsis]

CI checks are passing now after regenerating the out of sync generated data.

docs, datagen, and msrv are green. really sorry for the earlier back and forth, and thanks for your patience, really appreciate your time.

[SATVIKsynopsis]

The remaining failing check is full-datagen, which reports out of sync baked data for the new CollationDiacriticsV1 marker.

Running cargo make bakeddata locally is disk heavy on my setup, if someone with the full datagen environment could regenerate and push the updated baked data, that should resolve the final CI failure.

[sffc]

cargo make bakeddata collator runs it for just that component.

[SATVIKsynopsis]

Added the baked data for collator.

While fixing clippy/doc/msrv failures, I noticed the generated CollationDiacriticsV1 constants differed from existing patterns like jamo etc and updated the exporter to generate consistent doc(hidden) annotations so generated data satisfies repo lint rules.

This change requires regenerating the full baked data. I am disk constrained locally and can’t run cargo make bakeddata, so if someone with the full datagen setup could regenerate and push the updated baked data, that should resolve the remaining CI failure.

Happy to adjust if this isn’t the preferred approach.
