Use Rust instead of Python to generate UAX14 line break tables #758

Closed aethanyc closed 2 years ago

aethanyc commented 3 years ago

Currently, segmenter uses generate_properties.py to generate rule_table.rs and lb_define.rs, and we have to run the script manually to generate the table.

We may consider generate them by using Rust, and integrate the step into the build process.

Since the binary format for UAX14 and UAX29 rules will be similar, per discussion with @makotokato, we decide to do this after we have a prototype of UAX29. At that time, we'll know more about what the binary format will look like.

Duplicate of #1372 since #1372 has more information to move forward.
