Bug ID: 18943
Summary: Collation of NFD strings
Product: glibc
Version: 2.22
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: egmont at gmail dot com
CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Forking off from bug 18927 comment 8 & 11:
Collate definitions currently assume the input to be in NFC. If the available
UTF-8 unittests are converted to NFD (the localedata/*.in files which have
UTF-8 in Makefile's test-input) then they fail.
It would be nice to automatically make normalization the lowest priority factor
when deciding on collation, so that different normalizations of the same word
are as close to each other as possible. That is, to implement it once (e.g. in
iso14651_common) without having to modify individual locale definitions.
