Hi everyone,
I was looking more into how Swift detects extended grapheme cluster boundaries and came across these two functions: isOnGraphemeClusterBoundary()
and _opaqueCharacterStride()
which calls _hasGraphemeBreakBetween()
.
I was wondering if someone could explain why the two functions seem to be used in different areas and are not used together (from what I could find in the source, but definitely could have missed something)? It looks like _hasGraphemeBreakBetween()
is an implementation of the Grapheme Cluster Break Specification. This left me confused about isOnGraphemeClusterBoundary()
which does not interact with _hasGraphemeBreakBetween()
.
Here are links to the two function definitions:
isOnGraphemeClusterBoundary()
_hasGraphemeBreakBetween()
If anyone knows what these two functions do that would be super helpful! Thanks!
