Simple patch that moves the NameAliases version parser to build.rs. This avoids embedding the text file just to parse the file line each time unicode_version() is called.

I also fixed version_owner to allocate less by not constructing a temporary String to turn into a CString.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Unicode version reporting now consistently reflects the version bundled with the application, including for modern and legacy data views. This keeps reported version information aligned with the Unicode data available at runtime.

Walkthrough

The build script now extracts the modern Unicode version at compile time. The Unicode library exposes modern and legacy version constants, and the standard library uses them for its Unicode version values.

Changes: Unicode version source and consumers

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build-time version extraction
crates/unicode/build.rs
The build script validates the version from the first line of NameAliases.txt and emits it as UNICODE_VERSION. It runs this parser alongside the block parser in small_parsers.
Unicode version constants and accessors
crates/unicode/src/data.rs, crates/unicode/src/lib.rs
The Unicode library defines and re-exports UNICODE_VERSION and UNICODE_VERSION_LEGACY. Ucd::unidata_version() returns the applicable constant. The version test checks the modern constant, and the former unicode_version() function is removed.
Standard-library version values
crates/stdlib/src/unicodedata.rs
Ucd::new initializes its version from the modern or legacy constant. The module-level unidata_version returns UNICODE_VERSION. CString construction panics if the selected value contains an internal NUL.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Refactor

Explanation

The title "No alloc Unicode version" matches the main change. The PR moves the NameAliases version parsing to build.rs and embeds the version as the compile-time constants UNICODE_VERSION and UNICODE_VERSION_LEGACY, so unicode_version() no longer parses the text file or allocates at runtime. The title is short and specific. It does not name the build-time change, but it points to the core purpose, and a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change.
