45/**
46 * The <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> class is a concrete subclass of
47 * <code>Collator</code> that provides a simple, data-driven, table
48 * collator.  With this class you can create a customized table-based
49 * <code>Collator</code>.  <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> maps
50 * characters to sort keys.
51 *
52 * <p>
53 * <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> has the following restrictions
54 * for efficiency (other subclasses may be used for more complex languages) :
55 * <ol>
56 * <li>If a special collation rule controlled by a &lt;modifier&gt; is
57      specified it applies to the whole collator object.
58 * <li>All non-mentioned characters are at the end of the
59 *     collation order.
60 * </ol>
61 *
62 * <p>
63 * The collation table is composed of a list of collation rules, where each
64 * rule is of one of three forms:
65 * <pre>
66 *    &lt;modifier&gt;
67 *    &lt;relation&gt; &lt;text-argument&gt;
68 *    &lt;reset&gt; &lt;text-argument&gt;
69 * </pre>
70 * The definitions of the rule elements is as follows:
71 * <UL>
72 *    <LI><strong>Text-Argument</strong>: A text-argument is any sequence of
73 *        characters, excluding special characters (that is, common
74 *        whitespace characters [0009-000D, 0020] and rule syntax characters
75 *        [0021-002F, 003A-0040, 005B-0060, 007B-007E]). If those
76 *        characters are desired, you can put them in single quotes
77 *        (e.g. ampersand =&gt; '&amp;'). Note that unquoted white space characters
78 *        are ignored; e.g. <code>b c</code> is treated as <code>bc</code>.
79 *    <LI><strong>Modifier</strong>: There are currently two modifiers that
80 *        turn on special collation rules.
81 *        <UL>
82 *            <LI>'@' : Turns on backwards sorting of accents (secondary
83 *                      differences), as in French.
84 *            <LI>'!' : Turns on Thai/Lao vowel-consonant swapping.  If this
85 *                      rule is in force when a Thai vowel of the range
86 *                      &#92;U0E40-&#92;U0E44 precedes a Thai consonant of the range
87 *                      &#92;U0E01-&#92;U0E2E OR a Lao vowel of the range &#92;U0EC0-&#92;U0EC4
88 *                      precedes a Lao consonant of the range &#92;U0E81-&#92;U0EAE then
89 *                      the vowel is placed after the consonant for collation
90 *                      purposes.
91 *        </UL>
92 *        <p>'@' : Indicates that accents are sorted backwards, as in French.
93 *    <LI><strong>Relation</strong>: The relations are the following:
94 *        <UL>
95 *            <LI>'&lt;' : Greater, as a letter difference (primary)
96 *            <LI>';' : Greater, as an accent difference (secondary)
97 *            <LI>',' : Greater, as a case difference (tertiary)
98 *            <LI>'=' : Equal
99 *        </UL>
100 *    <LI><strong>Reset</strong>: There is a single reset
101 *        which is used primarily for contractions and expansions, but which
102 *        can also be used to add a modification at the end of a set of rules.
103 *        <p>'&amp;' : Indicates that the next rule follows the position to where
104 *            the reset text-argument would be sorted.
105 * </UL>
106 *
107 * <p>
108 * This sounds more complicated than it is in practice. For example, the
109 * following are equivalent ways of expressing the same thing:
110 * <blockquote>
111 * <pre>
112 * a &lt; b &lt; c
113 * a &lt; b &amp; b &lt; c
114 * a &lt; c &amp; a &lt; b
115 * </pre>
116 * </blockquote>
117 * Notice that the order is important, as the subsequent item goes immediately
118 * after the text-argument. The following are not equivalent:
119 * <blockquote>
120 * <pre>
121 * a &lt; b &amp; a &lt; c
122 * a &lt; c &amp; a &lt; b
123 * </pre>
124 * </blockquote>
125 * Either the text-argument must already be present in the sequence, or some
126 * initial substring of the text-argument must be present. (e.g. "a &lt; b &amp; ae &lt;
127 * e" is valid since "a" is present in the sequence before "ae" is reset). In
128 * this latter case, "ae" is not entered and treated as a single character;
129 * instead, "e" is sorted as if it were expanded to two characters: "a"
130 * followed by an "e". This difference appears in natural languages: in
131 * traditional Spanish "ch" is treated as though it contracts to a single
132 * character (expressed as "c &lt; ch &lt; d"), while in traditional German
133 * a-umlaut is treated as though it expanded to two characters
134 * (expressed as "a,A &lt; b,B ... &amp;ae;&#92;u00e3&amp;AE;&#92;u00c3").
135 * [&#92;u00e3 and &#92;u00c3 are, of course, the escape sequences for a-umlaut.]
136 * <p>
137 * <strong>Ignorable Characters</strong>
138 * <p>
139 * For ignorable characters, the first rule must start with a relation (the
140 * examples we have used above are really fragments; "a &lt; b" really should be
141 * "&lt; a &lt; b"). If, however, the first relation is not "&lt;", then all the all
142 * text-arguments up to the first "&lt;" are ignorable. For example, ", - &lt; a &lt; b"
143 * makes "-" an ignorable character, as we saw earlier in the word
144 * "black-birds". In the samples for different languages, you see that most
145 * accents are ignorable.
146 *
147 * <p><strong>Normalization and Accents</strong>
148 * <p>
149 * <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> automatically processes its rule table to
150 * include both pre-composed and combining-character versions of
151 * accented characters.  Even if the provided rule string contains only
152 * base characters and separate combining accent characters, the pre-composed
153 * accented characters matching all canonical combinations of characters from
154 * the rule string will be entered in the table.
155 * <p>
156 * This allows you to use a RuleBasedCollator to compare accented strings
157 * even when the collator is set to NO_DECOMPOSITION.  There are two caveats,
158 * however.  First, if the strings to be collated contain combining
159 * sequences that may not be in canonical order, you should set the collator to
160 * CANONICAL_DECOMPOSITION or FULL_DECOMPOSITION to enable sorting of
161 * combining sequences.  Second, if the strings contain characters with
162 * compatibility decompositions (such as full-width and half-width forms),
163 * you must use FULL_DECOMPOSITION, since the rule tables only include
164 * canonical mappings.
165 *
166 * <p><strong>Errors</strong>
167 * <p>
168 * The following are errors:
169 * <UL>
170 *     <LI>A text-argument contains unquoted punctuation symbols
171 *        (e.g. "a &lt; b-c &lt; d").
172 *     <LI>A relation or reset character not followed by a text-argument
173 *        (e.g. "a &lt; ,b").
174 *     <LI>A reset where the text-argument (or an initial substring of the
175 *         text-argument) is not already in the sequence.
176 *         (e.g. "a &lt; b &amp; e &lt; f")
177 * </UL>
178 * If you produce one of these errors, a <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> throws
179 * a <code>ParseException</code>.
180 *
181 * <p><strong>Examples</strong>
182 * <p>Simple:     "&lt; a &lt; b &lt; c &lt; d"
183 * <p>Norwegian:  "&lt; a, A &lt; b, B &lt; c, C &lt; d, D &lt; e, E &lt; f, F
184 *                 &lt; g, G &lt; h, H &lt; i, I &lt; j, J &lt; k, K &lt; l, L
185 *                 &lt; m, M &lt; n, N &lt; o, O &lt; p, P &lt; q, Q &lt; r, R
186 *                 &lt; s, S &lt; t, T &lt; u, U &lt; v, V &lt; w, W &lt; x, X
187 *                 &lt; y, Y &lt; z, Z
188 *                 &lt; &#92;u00E6, &#92;u00C6
189 *                 &lt; &#92;u00F8, &#92;u00D8
190 *                 &lt; &#92;u00E5 = a&#92;u030A, &#92;u00C5 = A&#92;u030A;
191 *                      aa, AA"
192 *
193 * <p>
194 * To create a <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> object with specialized
195 * rules tailored to your needs, you construct the <code>RuleBasedCollator</code>
196 * with the rules contained in a <code>String</code> object. For example:
197 * <blockquote>
198 * <pre>
199 * String simple = "&lt; a&lt; b&lt; c&lt; d";
200 * RuleBasedCollator mySimple = new RuleBasedCollator(simple);
201 * </pre>
202 * </blockquote>
203 * Or:
204 * <blockquote>
205 * <pre>
206 * String Norwegian = "&lt; a, A &lt; b, B &lt; c, C &lt; d, D &lt; e, E &lt; f, F &lt; g, G &lt; h, H &lt; i, I" +
207 *                    "&lt; j, J &lt; k, K &lt; l, L &lt; m, M &lt; n, N &lt; o, O &lt; p, P &lt; q, Q &lt; r, R" +
208 *                    "&lt; s, S &lt; t, T &lt; u, U &lt; v, V &lt; w, W &lt; x, X &lt; y, Y &lt; z, Z" +
209 *                    "&lt; &#92;u00E6, &#92;u00C6" +     // Latin letter ae &amp; AE
210 *                    "&lt; &#92;u00F8, &#92;u00D8" +     // Latin letter o &amp; O with stroke
211 *                    "&lt; &#92;u00E5 = a&#92;u030A," +  // Latin letter a with ring above
212 *                    "  &#92;u00C5 = A&#92;u030A;" +  // Latin letter A with ring above
213 *                    "  aa, AA";
214 * RuleBasedCollator myNorwegian = new RuleBasedCollator(Norwegian);
215 * </pre>
216 * </blockquote>
217 *
218 * <p>
219 * A new collation rules string can be created by concatenating rules
220 * strings. For example, the rules returned by {@link #getRules()} could
221 * be concatenated to combine multiple <code>RuleBasedCollator</code>s.
222 *
223 * <p>
224 * The following example demonstrates how to change the order of
225 * non-spacing accents,
226 * <blockquote>
227 * <pre>
228 * // old rule
229 * String oldRules = "=&#92;u0301;&#92;u0300;&#92;u0302;&#92;u0308"    // main accents
230 *                 + ";&#92;u0327;&#92;u0303;&#92;u0304;&#92;u0305"    // main accents
231 *                 + ";&#92;u0306;&#92;u0307;&#92;u0309;&#92;u030A"    // main accents
232 *                 + ";&#92;u030B;&#92;u030C;&#92;u030D;&#92;u030E"    // main accents
233 *                 + ";&#92;u030F;&#92;u0310;&#92;u0311;&#92;u0312"    // main accents
234 *                 + "&lt; a , A ; ae, AE ; &#92;u00e6 , &#92;u00c6"
235 *                 + "&lt; b , B &lt; c, C &lt; e, E &amp; C &lt; d, D";
236 * // change the order of accent characters
237 * String addOn = "&amp; &#92;u0300 ; &#92;u0308 ; &#92;u0302";
238 * RuleBasedCollator myCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(oldRules + addOn);
239 * </pre>

247    // IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:  The implementation of the collation algorithm is
248    // divided across three classes: RuleBasedCollator, RBCollationTables, and
249    // CollationElementIterator.  RuleBasedCollator contains the collator's
250    // transient state and includes the code that uses the other classes to
251    // implement comparison and sort-key building.  RuleBasedCollator also
252    // contains the logic to handle French secondary accent sorting.
253    // A RuleBasedCollator has two CollationElementIterators.  State doesn't
254    // need to be preserved in these objects between calls to compare() or
255    // getCollationKey(), but the objects persist anyway to avoid wasting extra
256    // creation time.  compare() and getCollationKey() are synchronized to ensure
257    // thread safety with this scheme.  The CollationElementIterator is responsible
258    // for generating collation elements from strings and returning one element at
259    // a time (sometimes there's a one-to-many or many-to-one mapping between
260    // characters and collation elements-- this class handles that).
261    // CollationElementIterator depends on RBCollationTables, which contains the
262    // collator's static state.  RBCollationTables contains the actual data
263    // tables specifying the collation order of characters for a particular locale
264    // or use.  It also contains the base logic that CollationElementIterator
265    // uses to map from characters to collation elements.  A single RBCollationTables
