lol @ the thumbs down. The point of all this is seeing the limits of the system, so an "attempt" like this is valid in that context. And now we know that it actually ignores non-authors!

Ooh, glad to see that copilot is willing to toss in some extra unrelated changes to make the PR more interesting!

Love having this comment in a second time worded differently, it really boosts clarity.

I came here to gawk at what's happening, but I decided to actually check the PR. The AI has apparently decided that ICU collator versions follow this format. But the ICU documentation and API is pretty clear that the version is opaque: https://unicode-org.github.io/icu-docs/apidoc/dev/icu4c/ucol_8h.html#a0f98dd01ba7a64069ade6f0fda13528d

On top of this the function returns an int32_t instead of a UVersionInfo which is intended to have to have an opaque length too. The C API says you should compare two versions of a version using memcmp(v1,v2,sizeof(UVersionInfo)).

To be very charitable, the bot is presenting internal workings of an external API as truth here. 😬

First, the documentation you linked explicitly says that the version is an array of 4 unsigned 8-bit values. Thus, the length is not opaque - it's contracted in the documentation:

The binary form of a version on ICU APIs is an array of 4 uint8_t.

Second, this is .NET code. .NET code cannot use C definitions, and an appropriate reimplementation must be created from scratch. So, the low-level representation in C# of the C code does not break the API contract.

Now, whether the comment should expose the C internals - I'd say, no, this should be fixed.


// Calculate major version based on OS version
// iOS versions and macOS versions are not aligned (e.g., iOS 18 and macOS 15 can coexist)
// so we need to handle them differently
uint8_t collatorMajor;

// A simple but effective approach to differentiate iOS/macOS:
// iOS uses higher version numbers (e.g., 17+) while macOS uses lower numbers (e.g., 13-14)
// This approximation won't be perfect for all future versions but gives consistent behavior

This is wrong if the program ever runs or is built under compatibility modes: https://eclecticlight.co/2020/08/13/macos-version-numbering-isnt-so-simple/

also macOS major version as far back as Mac OS X Cheetah returns major version 10, so the second path will never run.

Also this approximation is not good.

Maybe this actually works... This comment is definitely very helpful, since I didn't know that 13 and 14 are less than 10.

I can see many problems with identifying an OS based on the major version alone.

Yeah, especially since iOS 9 is technically still a thing and (admittedly very few) people still use it on rare occasions.

I wonder if the reason the AI is willing to create version checks in this way is related to training data where version checks of Windows were commonly done in such a way that Microsoft later decided to skip from Windows 8 directly to Windows 10.

Even better, NT jumped from 6.3 to 10.0

// Likely iOS/iPadOS - Apply iOS formula
// Approximation: iOS 17 -> Unicode 14, iOS 16 -> Unicode 13, etc.
collatorMajor = (uint8_t)(osVersion.majorVersion - 3);
