A generic key-value blob reader, KeyValueBlobReader, is implemented to
allow more flexibility in user-editable files. For example, this allows
comments in the file, as well as tolerating leading or trailing spaces,
tabs, or even Windows CR LF line endings.
Unit tests are supplied for KeyValueBlobReader although they are not
part of the Xcode project. A separate CMakeLists.txt is provided.
UserPhrasesLM is refactored to use KeyValueBlobReader. A small stylistic
change is appiled to reduce "using namespace" uses, but otherwise no
major style changes were applied to UserPhrasesLM.
Please note that McBopomofo's user phrase LM uses the value in a
key-value pair as the reading, and the key as the actual "value". We
don't plan to change that order so that we don't have to migrate data.
std::string_view is used to allow efficient reference to char buffers
and interop with std::string (and so no c_str() is needed). C++17 is now
enabled for the project to enable the use of std::string_view.
Copyright headers are added to McBopomofoLM and UserPhrasesLM.
Since there is no probability information for users' custom phrases,
they should be stored in a format differs from data.txt. Using the same
format and FastLM to parse user phrases just because of laziness but it
is not the right way.
The pull request adds a new language model class to parse user phrases.
It also update the input method controller to adopt the new user phrase
format.
The reference of the global language models were stored in the class
InputMethodController, however, the global models are global but not a
part of the input method controller, and the input method controller
only use one of the models (McBopomofo/Plain Bopomofo). I guess it
somehow violates SRP and there should be a better place for the global
models.
There was a legacy user override model which creates a folder and a
plist file. If a user uses McBopomofo for years, the folder would
exist. However, when the old override model was removed, I forgot
to create the folder for the new user phrase file.
The bug would let the users with new installation of McBopomofo unable
to add user phrases.
