Detailed Description

C API: 8-bit Unicode handling macros.

This file defines macros to deal with 8-bit Unicode (UTF-8) code units (bytes) and strings.

For more information see utf.h and the ICU User Guide Strings chapter (http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings).

Usage: ICU coding guidelines for if() statements should be followed when using these macros. Compound statements (curly braces {}) must be used for if-else-while... bodies and all macro statements should be terminated with semicolon.

#define TRUE
The TRUE value of a UBool.
Definition: umachine.h:229

Append a code point to a string, overwriting 1 to 4 bytes.

The offset points to the current end of the string contents and is advanced (post-increment). "Safe" macro, checks for a valid code point. If a non-ASCII code point is written, checks for sufficient space in the string. If the code point is not valid or trail bytes do not fit, then isError is set to TRUE.

Parameters
sconst uint8_t * string buffer
iint32_t string offset, must be i<capacity
capacityint32_t size of the string buffer
cUChar32 code point to append
isErroroutput UBool set to TRUE if an error occurs, otherwise not modified

Is this code unit (byte) a UTF-8 lead byte? (0xC2..0xF4)
Definition: utf8.h:180

Counts the trail bytes for a UTF-8 lead byte.

Returns 0 for 0..0xc1 as well as for 0xf5..0xff. leadByte might be evaluated multiple times.

This is internal since it is not meant to be called directly by external clients; however it is called by public macros in this file and thus must remain stable.

leadByteThe first byte of a UTF-8 sequence. Must be 0..0xff.
Internal:
Do not use. This API is for internal use only.

Counts the trail bytes for a UTF-8 lead byte of a valid UTF-8 sequence.

Returns 0 for 0..0xc1. Undefined for 0xf5..0xff. leadByte might be evaluated multiple times.

This is internal since it is not meant to be called directly by external clients; however it is called by public macros in this file and thus must remain stable.

◆ U8_GET

#define U8_GET (   s,

U8_SET_CP_START(s, start, _u8_get_index); \
U8_NEXT(s, _u8_get_index, length, c); \
}

Get a code point from a string at a random-access offset, without changing the offset.

The offset may point to either the lead byte or one of the trail bytes for a code point, in which case the macro will read all of the bytes for the code point.

The length can be negative for a NUL-terminated string.

If the offset points to an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence, then c is set to a negative value. Iteration through a string is more efficient with U8_NEXT_UNSAFE or U8_NEXT.

Parameters
sconst uint8_t * string
startint32_t starting string offset
iint32_t string offset, must be start<=i<length
lengthint32_t string length
coutput UChar32 variable, set to <0 in case of an error

◆ U8_GET_OR_FFFD

#define U8_GET_OR_FFFD (   s,
  start,

Value:
{ \
int32_t _u8_get_index=(i); \
U8_SET_CP_START(s, start, _u8_get_index); \
U8_NEXT_OR_FFFD(s, _u8_get_index, length, c); \
}

Get a code point from a string at a random-access offset, without changing the offset.

The offset may point to either the lead byte or one of the trail bytes for a code point, in which case the macro will read all of the bytes for the code point.

The length can be negative for a NUL-terminated string.

If the offset points to an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence, then c is set to U+FFFD. Iteration through a string is more efficient with U8_NEXT_UNSAFE or U8_NEXT_OR_FFFD.

This macro does not distinguish between a real U+FFFD in the text and U+FFFD returned for an ill-formed sequence. Use U8_GET() if that distinction is important.

Parameters
sconst uint8_t * string
startint32_t starting string offset
iint32_t string offset, must be start<=i<length
lengthint32_t string length
coutput UChar32 variable, set to U+FFFD in case of an error

U8_SET_CP_START_UNSAFE(s, _u8_get_unsafe_index); \
U8_NEXT_UNSAFE(s, _u8_get_unsafe_index, c); \
}

Get a code point from a string at a random-access offset, without changing the offset.

The offset may point to either the lead byte or one of the trail bytes for a code point, in which case the macro will read all of the bytes for the code point.

◆ U8_NEXT

#define U8_NEXT (   s,

(Post-incrementing forward iteration.) "Safe" macro, checks for illegal sequences and for string boundaries.

The length can be negative for a NUL-terminated string.

The offset may point to the lead byte of a multi-byte sequence, in which case the macro will read the whole sequence. If the offset points to a trail byte or an illegal UTF-8 sequence, then c is set to a negative value.

UChar32 utf8_prevCharSafeBody(const uint8_t *s, int32_t start, int32_t *pi, UChar32 c, UBool strict)

Internal 4-byte UTF-8 validity check.
Definition: utf8.h:114

If the string ends with a UTF-8 byte sequence that is valid so far but incomplete, then reduce the length of the string to end before the lead byte of that incomplete sequence.

For example, if the string ends with E1 80, the length is reduced by 2.

In all other cases (the string ends with a complete sequence, or it is not possible for any further trail byte to extend the trailing sequence) the length remains unchanged.

Useful for processing text split across multiple buffers (save the incomplete sequence for later) and for optimizing iteration (check for string length only once per character).

"Safe" macro, checks for illegal sequences and for string boundaries. Unlike U8_SET_CP_START(), this macro never reads s[length].

(In UTF-16, simply check for U16_IS_LEAD(last code unit).)

Parameters
sconst uint8_t * string
startint32_t starting string offset (usually 0)
lengthint32_t string length (usually start<=length)
