From: janosch-x via ruby-core Date: 2023-06-13T22:06:57+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:113901] [Ruby master Bug#19728] Automate (checking of) Regexp character property documentation Issue #19728 has been updated by janosch-x (Janosch M�ller). How about doing it in [enc-unicode.rb](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/tool/enc-unicode.rb)? On the one hand, this script is a bit convoluted as it is, and does not need another responsibility. On the other hand, it already passes a (quote) "human-friendly name for the group" to its `#make_const` method for every property that it creates, and the sections of the document could be based on that. It also has the abbreviations (e.g. LL for lowercase letter) available in its `aliases` variable. Generating the doc here would ensure an exact match of docs and code, whereas a test would probably not ensure e.g. that properties are in the correct section of the doc. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19728: Automate (checking of) Regexp character property documentation https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19728#change-103552 * Author: duerst (Martin D�rst) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: duerst (Martin D�rst) * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This came up in a discussion at https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/7923. The documentation at doc/regexp.rdoc currently contains a list of character properties that can be used in regular expressions. But there is no guarantee that this list is updated when the Unicode version is updated. One idea is to create a ruby equivalent of https://github.com/k-takata/Onigmo/blob/master/tool/update-doc.py. Another idea is to just write a test that checks enc/unicode/$UNICODE_VERSION/name2ctype.h against the relevant part of the documentation file. This might make it easier for the documentation to be rewritten while guaranteeing that no properties get forgotten. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
