Detailed Description

C API: UFormattable is a thin wrapper for primitive types used for formatting and parsing.

This is a C interface to the icu::Formattable class. Static functions on this class convert to and from this interface (via reinterpret_cast). Note that Formattables (and thus UFormattables) are mutable, and many operations (even getters) may actually modify the internal state. For this reason, UFormattables are not thread safe, and should not be shared between threads.

See unum_parseToUFormattable for example code.

Function Documentation

◆ ufmt_close()

void ufmt_close ( UFormattable fmt)

Cleanup any additional memory allocated by this UFormattable.

Parameters
fmtthe formatter
Stable:
ICU 52
See also
ufmt_open

◆ ufmt_getArrayItemByIndex()

UFormattable* ufmt_getArrayItemByIndex ( UFormattable fmt,
int32_t  n,
UErrorCode status 
)

Get the specified value from the array of UFormattables.

Invalid if the object is not an array type UFMT_ARRAY

Parameters
fmtthe UFormattable object
nthe number of the array to return (0 based).
statusthe error code - any conversion or format errors. Returns an error if n is out of bounds.
Returns
the nth array value, only valid while the containing UFormattable is valid. NULL if not an array.
Stable:
ICU 52
See also
icu::Formattable::getArray(int32_t&, UErrorCode&) const

◆ ufmt_getArrayLength()

int32_t ufmt_getArrayLength ( const UFormattable fmt,
UErrorCode status 
)

Get the number of array objects contained, if an array type UFMT_ARRAY.

Parameters
fmtthe UFormattable object
statusthe error code - any conversion or format errors. U_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT_ERROR if not an array type.
Returns
the number of array objects or undefined if not an array type
Stable:
ICU 52
See also
ufmt_getArrayItemByIndex

◆ ufmt_getDate()

UDate ufmt_getDate ( const UFormattable fmt,
UErrorCode status 
)

Gets the UDate value of this object.

If the type is not of type UFMT_DATE, status is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR and the return value is undefined.

Parameters
fmtthe UFormattable object
statusthe error code - any conversion or format errors
Returns
the value
Stable:
ICU 52
See also
icu::Formattable::getDate(UErrorCode&) const

◆ ufmt_getDecNumChars()

const char* ufmt_getDecNumChars ( UFormattable fmt,
int32_t *  len,
UErrorCode status 
)

Returns a numeric string representation of the number contained within this formattable, or NULL if this object does not contain numeric type.

For values obtained by parsing, the returned decimal number retains the full precision and range of the original input, unconstrained by the limits of a double floating point or a 64 bit int.

This function is not thread safe, and therfore is not declared const, even though it is logically const. The resulting buffer is owned by the UFormattable and is invalid if any other functions are called on the UFormattable.

Possible errors include U_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_ERROR, and U_INVALID_STATE if the formattable object has not been set to a numeric type.

Parameters
fmtthe UFormattable object
lenif non-null, on exit contains the string length (not including the terminating null)
statusthe error code
Returns
the character buffer as a NULL terminated string, which is owned by the object and must not be accessed if any other functions are called on this object.
Stable:
ICU 52
See also
icu::Formattable::getDecimalNumber(UErrorCode&)

◆ ufmt_getDouble()

double ufmt_getDouble ( UFormattable fmt,
UErrorCode status 
)

Gets the double value of this object.

If the type is not a UFMT_DOUBLE, or if there are additional significant digits than fit in a double type, a conversion is performed with possible loss of precision. If the type is UFMT_OBJECT and the object is a Measure, then the result of getNumber().getDouble(status) is returned. If this object is neither a numeric type nor a Measure, then 0 is returned and the status is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR.

Parameters
fmtthe UFormattable object
statusthe error code - any conversion or format errors
Returns
the value
Stable:
ICU 52
See also
icu::Formattable::getDouble(UErrorCode&) const

◆ ufmt_getInt64()

int64_t ufmt_getInt64 ( UFormattable fmt,
UErrorCode status 
)

Gets the int64_t value of this object.

If this object is of a numeric type and the magnitude is too large to fit in an int64, then the maximum or minimum int64 value, as appropriate, is returned and the status is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR. If the magnitude fits in an int64, then a casting conversion is peformed, with truncation of any fractional part. If the type is UFMT_OBJECT and the object is a Measure, then the result of getNumber().getDouble(status) is returned. If this object is neither a numeric type nor a Measure, then 0 is returned and the status is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR.

Parameters
fmtthe UFormattable object
statusthe error code - any conversion or format errors
Returns
the value
Stable:
ICU 52
See also
icu::Formattable::getInt64(UErrorCode&) const

◆ ufmt_getLong()

int32_t ufmt_getLong ( UFormattable fmt,
UErrorCode status 
)

Gets the long (int32_t) value of this object.

If the magnitude is too large to fit in a long, then the maximum or minimum long value, as appropriate, is returned and the status is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR. If this object is of type UFMT_INT64 and it fits within a long, then no precision is lost. If it is of type kDouble or kDecimalNumber, then a conversion is peformed, with truncation of any fractional part. If the type is UFMT_OBJECT and the object is a Measure, then the result of getNumber().getLong(status) is returned. If this object is neither a numeric type nor a Measure, then 0 is returned and the status is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR.

Parameters
fmtthe UFormattable object
statusthe error code - any conversion or format errors
Returns
the value

icu::Formattable::getLong(UErrorCode&) const

◆ ufmt_getObject()

const void* ufmt_getObject ( const UFormattable fmt,
UErrorCode status 
)

Returns a pointer to the UObject contained within this formattable (as a const void*), or NULL if this object is not of type UFMT_OBJECT.

Parameters

const UChar* ufmt_getUChars ( UFormattable fmt,
int32_t *  len,
UErrorCode status 
)

Gets the string value of this object as a UChar string.

If the type is not a string, status is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR and a NULL pointer is returned. This function is not thread safe and may modify the UFormattable if need be to terminate the string. The returned pointer is not valid if any other functions are called on this UFormattable, or if the UFormattable is closed.
