Note that the Windows rendering is used for the Mac code pages.  The primary
difference is the use of the private `0xF8FF` code (which renders as an Apple
logo on macs but as garbage on other operating systems).  It may be desirable
to fall back to the behavior, in which case the files are under APPLE and not
MICSFT.  Codepages are an absolute pain :/

The known missing codepages are enumerated in the README.

## Building Notes

The script `make.sh` (described later) will get these files and massage the data
(printing code-unicode pairs).  The eventual tables are dropped in the paths
`./codepages/<CODEPAGE>.TBL`.  For example, the last 10 lines of `10000.TBL` are

```>
0xF6	0x02C6
0xF7	0x02DC
0xF8	0x00AF
0xF9	0x02D8
0xFA	0x02D9
0xFB	0x02DA
0xFC	0x00B8
0xFD	0x02DD
0xFE	0x02DB
0xFF	0x02C7
```

which implies that code 0xF6 is `String.fromCharCode(0x02C6)` and vice versa.

## Windows-dependent build step

To build the sources on windows, consult `dotnet/MakeEncoding.cs`.

After saving the standard output to `out`, a simple awk script (`dotnet.sh`) takes care of the rest:

```>dotnet.sh
#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -e dotnet/out ]; then exit; fi
<dotnet/out tr -s ' ' '\t' | awk 'NF>2 {if(outfile) close(outfile); outfile="codepages/" $1 ".TBL"} NF==2 {print > outfile}'
```

# Building the script

`make.njs` takes a codepage argument, reads the corresponding table file and
generates JS code for encoding and decoding:

## Raw Codepages

```>make.njs
#!/usr/bin/env node
var argv = process.argv.slice(1), fs = require('fs');
if(argv.length < 2) {
    console.error("usage: make.njs <codepage_index> [variable]");
    process.exit(22); /* EINVAL */
}

var cp = argv[1];
var jsvar = argv[2] || "cptable";
var x = fs.readFileSync("codepages/" + cp + ".TBL","utf8");
var maxcp = 0;

var y = x.split("\n").map(function(z) {
    var w = z.split("\t");
    if(w.length < 2) return w;
    return [Number(w[0]), Number(w[1])];
}).filter(function(z) { return z.length > 1; });
```

The DBCS and SBCS code generation strategies are different.  The maximum code is
used to distinguish (max 0xFF for SBCS).

```
for(var i = 0; i != y.length; ++i) if(y[i][0] > maxcp) maxcp = y[i][0];

var enc = {}, dec = (maxcp < 256 ? [] : {});
for(var i = 0; i != y.length; ++i) {
    dec[y[i][0]] = String.fromCharCode(y[i][1]);
    enc[String.fromCharCode(y[i][1])] = y[i][0];
}

var odec, oenc, outstr;
if(maxcp < 256) {
```

The unicode character `0xFFFD` (REPLACEMENT CHARACTER) is used as a placeholder
for characters that are not specified in the map (for example, `0xF0` is not in
code page 10000).

For SBCS, the idea is to embed a raw string with the contents of the 256 codes.
The `dec` field is merely a split of the string, and `enc` is an eversion:

```
    for(var i = 0; i != 256; ++i) if(typeof dec[i] === "undefined") dec[i] = String.fromCharCode(0xFFFD);
    odec = JSON.stringify(dec.join("")) + '.split("")'
    outstr = '(function(){ var d = ' + odec + ', e = {}; for(var i=0;i!=d.length;++i) if(d[i].charCodeAt(0) !== 0xFFFD)e[d[i]] = i; return {"enc": e, "dec": d }; })();';
} else {
```

DBCS is similar, except that the space is sliced into 256-byte chunks (strings
are only generated for those high-bytes represented in the codepage).

The strategy is to construct an array-of-arrays so that `dd[high][low]` is the
character associated with the code.  This array is combined at runtime to yield
the complete decoding object (and the encoding object is an eversion):

```
    var dd = [];
    for(var i in dec) if(dec.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
        if(typeof dd[i >> 8] === "undefined") dd[i >> 8] = [];
        dd[i >> 8][i % 256] = dec[i];
    }
    outstr = '(function(){ var d = {}, e = {}, D = [], j;\n';
    for(var i = 0; i != 256; ++i) if(dd[i]) {
        for(var j = 0; j != 256; ++j) if(typeof dd[i][j] === "undefined") dd[i][j] = String.fromCharCode(0xFFFD);
        outstr += 'D[' + i + '] = ' + JSON.stringify(dd[i].join("")) + '.split("");\n';
        outstr += 'for(j = 0; j != D[' + i + '].length; ++j) if(D[' + i + '][j].charCodeAt(0) !== 0xFFFD) { e[D[' + i + '][j]] = ' + i + ' * 256 + j; d[' + i + ' * 256 + j] = D[' + i + '][j];}\n'
    }
    outstr += 'return {"enc": e, "dec": d }; })();';
}
console.log(jsvar + "[" + cp + "] = " + outstr);

```

`make.sh` generates the tables used by `make.njs`.  The raw unicode TXT files
are columnar: `code unicode #comments`.  For example, the last 10 lines of the
text file ROMAN.TXT (for CP 10000) are:

```>
0xF6	0x02C6	#MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
0xF7	0x02DC	#SMALL TILDE
0xF8	0x00AF	#MACRON
0xF9	0x02D8	#BREVE
0xFA	0x02D9	#DOT ABOVE
0xFB	0x02DA	#RING ABOVE
0xFC	0x00B8	#CEDILLA
0xFD	0x02DD	#DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT
0xFE	0x02DB	#OGONEK
0xFF	0x02C7	#CARON
```

In processing the data, the comments (after the `#`) are stripped and undefined
elements (like `0x7F` for CP 10000) are removed.

```>make.sh
#!/bin/bash
INFILE=${1:-pages.csv}
OUTFILE=${2:-cptable.js}
JSVAR=${3:-cptable}

mkdir -p codepages bits
rm -f $OUTFILE $OUTFILE.tmp
echo "/* $OUTFILE (C) 2013-2014 SheetJS -- http://sheetjs.com */" > $OUTFILE.tmp
echo "/*jshint -W100 */" >> $OUTFILE.tmp
echo "var $JSVAR = {};" >> $OUTFILE.tmp
if [ -e dotnet.sh ]; then bash dotnet.sh; fi
awk -F, '{print $1, $2, $3}' $INFILE | while read cp url cptype; do
    echo $cp $url
    if [ ! -e codepages/$cp.TBL ]; then
        curl $url | sed 's/#.*//g' | awk 'NF==2' > codepages/$cp.TBL
    fi
    echo "if(typeof $JSVAR === 'undefined') $JSVAR = {};" > bits/$cp.js.tmp
    node make.njs $cp $JSVAR | tee -a bits/$cp.js.tmp >> $OUTFILE.tmp
    sed 's/"\([0-9]+\)":/\1:/g' <bits/$cp.js.tmp >bits/$cp.js
    rm -f bits/$cp.js.tmp
done
echo "if (typeof module !== 'undefined' && module.exports) module.exports = $JSVAR;" >> $OUTFILE.tmp
sed 's/"\([0-9]+\)":/\1:/g' <$OUTFILE.tmp >$OUTFILE
rm -f $OUTFILE.tmp
```

## Utilities

The encode and decode functions are kept in a separate script (cputils.js).

Both encode and decode deal with data represented as:

- String (encode expects JS string, decode interprets UCS2 chars as codes)
- Array (encode expects array of JS String characters, decode expects numbers)
- Buffer (encode expects UTF-8 string, decode expects codepoints/bytes).

The `ofmt` variable controls `encode` output (`str`, `arr` respectively)
while the input format is automatically determined.

# Tests

The tests include JS validity tests (requiring or eval'ing code):

```>test.js
var fs = require('fs'), assert = require('assert'), vm = require('vm');
var cptable, sbcs;
describe('source', function() {
  it('should load node', function() { cptable = require('./'); });
  it('should load sbcs', function() { sbcs = require('./sbcs'); });
  it('should load excel', function() { excel = require('./cpexcel'); });
  it('should process bits', function() {
    var files = fs.readdirSync('bits').filter(function(x){return x.substr(-3)==".js";});
    files.forEach(function(x) {
      vm.runInThisContext(fs.readFileSync('./bits/' + x));
    });
  });
});
```

The README tests verify the snippets in the README:

```>test.js
describe('README', function() {
  var readme = function() {
    var unicode_cp10000_255 = cptable[10000].dec[255]; // ˇ
    assert.equal(unicode_cp10000_255, "ˇ");

    var cp10000_711 = cptable[10000].enc[String.fromCharCode(711)]; // 255
    assert.equal(cp10000_711, 255);

    var b1 = [0xbb,0xe3,0xd7,0xdc];
    var 汇总 = cptable.utils.decode(936, b1);
    var buf =  cptable.utils.encode(936,  汇总);
    assert.equal(汇总,"汇总");
    assert.equal(buf.length, 4);
    for(var i = 0; i != 4; ++i) assert.equal(b1[i], buf[i]);
  };
  it('should be correct', function() {
    cptable.utils.cache.encache();
    readme();
    cptable.utils.cache.decache();
    readme();
  });
});
```

The consistency tests make sure that encoding and decoding are pseudo inverses:

```>test.js
describe('consistency', function() {
  cptable = require('./');
  U = cptable.utils;
  var chk = function(cptable, cacheit) { return function(x) {
    it('should consistently process CP ' + x + ' ' + cacheit, function() {
      var cp = cptable[x], D = cp.dec, E = cp.enc;
      if(cacheit) cptable.utils.cache.encache();
      else cptable.utils.cache.decache();
      Object.keys(D).forEach(function(d) {
        if(E[D[d]] != d) {
          if(typeof E[D[d]] !== "undefined") return;

The next tests look at possible entry conditions:

```

The `testfile` helper function reads a file and compares to node's read facilities:

```>test.js
function testfile(f,cp,type,skip) {
  var d = fs.readFileSync(f);
  var x = fs.readFileSync(f, type);
  var a = x.split("");
  var chk = function(cp) {
    var y = cptable.utils.decode(cp, d);
    assert.equal(x,y);
    var z = cptable.utils.encode(cp, x);
    if(z.length != d.length) throw new Error(f + " " + JSON.stringify(z) + " != " + JSON.stringify(d) + " : " + z.length + " " + d.length);
    for(var i = 0; i != d.length; ++i) if(d[i] !== z[i]) throw new Error("" + i + " " + d[i] + "!=" + z[i]);
    if(skip) return;
    z = cptable.utils.encode(cp, a);
    if(z.length != d.length) throw new Error(f + " " + JSON.stringify(z) + " != " + JSON.stringify(d) + " : " + z.length + " " + d.length);
    for(var i = 0; i != d.length; ++i) if(d[i] !== z[i]) throw new Error("" + i + " " + d[i] + "!=" + z[i]);
  }
  cptable.utils.cache.encache();
  chk(cp);
  if(skip) return;
  cptable.utils.cache.decache();
  chk(cp);
  cptable.utils.cache.encache();
}
```

The `utf8` tests verify utf8 encoding of the actual JS sources:

```>test.js
describe('node natives', function() {
  var node = [[65001, 'utf8',1], [1200, 'utf16le',1], [20127, 'ascii',0]];
  var unicodefiles = ['codepage.md','README.md','cptable.js'];
  var asciifiles = ['cputils.js'];
  node.forEach(function(w) {
    describe(w[1], function() {
      cptable = require('./');
      asciifiles.forEach(function(f) {
        it('should process ' + f, function() { testfile('./misc/'+f+'.'+w[1],w[0],w[1]); });
      });
      if(!w[2]) return;
      unicodefiles.forEach(function(f) {
        it('should process ' + f, function() { testfile('./misc/'+f+'.'+w[1],w[0],w[1]); });
      });
      if(w[1] === 'utf8') it('should process bits', function() {
        var files = fs.readdirSync('bits').filter(function(x){return x.substr(-3)==".js";});
        files.forEach(function(f) { testfile('./bits/' + f,w[0],w[1],true); });
      });
    });
  });
});
```

The utf* and ascii tests attempt to test other magic formats:

```>test.js
var m = cptable.utils.magic;
function cmp(x,z) {
  assert.equal(x.length, z.length);
  for(var i = 0; i != z.length; ++i) assert.equal(i+"/"+x.length+""+x[i], i+"/"+z.length+""+z[i]);
}
Object.keys(m).forEach(function(t){if(t != 16969) describe(m[t], function() {
  it("should process codepage.md." + m[t], fs.existsSync('./misc/codepage.md.' + m[t]) ?
    function() {
      var b = fs.readFileSync('./misc/codepage.md.utf8', "utf8");
      if(m[t] === "ascii") b = b.replace(/[\u0080-\uffff]*/g,"");
      var x = fs.readFileSync('./misc/codepage.md.' + m[t]);
      var y, z;
      cptable.utils.cache.encache();
      y = cptable.utils.decode(t, x);
      assert.equal(y,b);
      z = cptable.utils.encode(t, y);
      if(t != 65000) cmp(x,z);
      else { assert.equal(y, cptable.utils.decode(t, z)); }
      cptable.utils.cache.decache();
      y = cptable.utils.decode(t, x);
      assert.equal(y,b);
      z = cptable.utils.encode(t, y);
      if(t != 65000) cmp(x,z);
      else { assert.equal(y, cptable.utils.decode(t, z)); }
      cptable.utils.cache.encache();
    }
  : null);
  it("should process README.md." + m[t], fs.existsSync('./misc/README.md.' + m[t]) ?
    function() {
      var b = fs.readFileSync('./misc/README.md.utf8', "utf8");
      if(m[t] === "ascii") b = b.replace(/[\u0080-\uffff]*/g,"");
      var x = fs.readFileSync('./misc/README.md.' + m[t]);
      x = [].slice.call(x);
      cptable.utils.cache.encache();
      var y = cptable.utils.decode(t, x);
      assert.equal(y,b);
      cptable.utils.cache.decache();
      var y = cptable.utils.decode(t, x);
      assert.equal(y,b);
      cptable.utils.cache.encache();
    }
  : null);
});});
```

The codepage `6969` is not defined, so operations should fail:

```>test.js
describe('failures', function() {
  it('should fail to find CP 6969', function() {
    assert.throws(function(){cptable[6969].dec});
    assert.throws(function(){cptable[6969].enc});
  });
  it('should fail using utils', function() {
    assert(!cptable.utils.hascp(6969));
    assert.throws(function(){return cptable.utils.encode(6969, "foobar"); });
    assert.throws(function(){return cptable.utils.decode(6969, [0x20]); });
  });
  it('should fail with black magic', function() {
    assert(cptable.utils.hascp(16969));
    assert.throws(function(){return cptable.utils.encode(16969, "foobar"); });
    assert.throws(function(){return cptable.utils.decode(16969, [0x20]); });
  });
  it('should fail when presented with invalid char codes', function() {
    assert.throws(function(){cptable.utils.cache.decache(); return cptable.utils.encode(20127, [String.fromCharCode(0xAA)]);});
  });
});
