    Description

      The collation defined in the attached Index.xml does not work.
      It crashes in DEBUG build and writes "Expansion too long" error to server error log in release build.

      I seems the problem happens because MariaDB collation customization currently has some limitation in shifting characters which have implicit weights (i.e. those not listed on DUCET).

          The problem is the the collation customization code does not handle:

          • reset to a character with an implicit weight
          • shift of a character with an implicit weight

          How to repeat:

          • Put the attatched Index.xml into share/charsets
          • Run this query: 

            SELECT _utf8'a' COLLATE utf8_confusables;
