The following patch implements the
C++23 P2071R2 - Named universal character escapes
paper to support \N{LATIN SMALL LETTER E} etc.
I've used Unicode 14.0, there are 144803 character name properties
(including the ones generated by Unicode NR1 and NR2 rules)
and correction/control/alternate aliases, together with zero terminators
that would be 3884745 bytes, which is clearly unacceptable for libcpp.
This patch instead contains a generator which from the UnicodeData.txt
and NameAliases.txt files emits a space optimized radix tree (208765
bytes long for 14.0), a single string literal dictionary (59418 bytes),
maximum name length (currently 88 chars) and two small helper arrays
for the NR1/NR2 name generation.
The radix tree needs 2 to 9 bytes per node, the exact format is
described in the generator program. There could be ways to shrink
the dictionary size somewhat at the expense of slightly slower lookups.
Currently the patch implements strict matching (that is what is needed
to actually implement it on valid code) and Unicode UAX44-LM2 algorithm
loose matching to provide hints (that algorithm essentially ignores
hyphens in between two alphanumeric characters, spaces and underscores
(with one exception for hyphen) and does case insensitive matching).
In the attachment is a WIP patch that shows how to implement also
spellcheck.{h,cc} style discovery of misspellings, but I'll need to talk
to David Malcolm about it, as spellcheck.{h,cc} is in gcc/ subdir
(so the WIP incremental patch instead prints all the names to stderr).
