     27  *  Initialize ICU. The description further below applies to ICU 2.6 to ICU 3.4.
     28  *  Starting with ICU 3.4, u_init() needs not be called any more for
     29  *  ensuring thread safety, but it can give an indication for whether ICU
     30  *  can load its data. In ICU 3.4, it will try to load the converter alias table
     31  *  (cnvalias.icu) and give an error code if that fails.
     32  *  This may change in the future.
     33  *  <p>
     34  *  For ensuring the availability of necessary data, an application should
     35  *  open the service objects (converters, collators, etc.) that it will use
     36  *  and check for error codes there.
     37  *  <p>
     38  *  Documentation for ICU 2.6 to ICU 3.4:
     39  *  <p>
     40  *  This function loads and initializes data items
     41  *  that are required internally by various ICU functions.  Use of this explicit
     42  *  initialization is required in multi-threaded applications; in
     43  *  single threaded apps, use is optional, but incurs little additional
     44  *  cost, and is thus recommended.
     45  *  <p>
     46  *  In multi-threaded applications, u_init() should be called  in the
     47  *  main thread before starting additional threads, or, alternatively
     48  *  it can be called in each individual thread once, before other ICU
     49  *  functions are called in that thread.  In this second scenario, the
     50  *  application must guarantee that the first call to u_init() happen
     51  *  without contention, in a single thread only.
     52  *  <p>
     53  *  If <code>u_setMemoryFunctions()</code> or
     54  *  <code>u_setMutexFunctions</code> are needed (uncommon), they must be
     55  *  called _before_ <code>u_init()</code>.
     56  *  <p>
     57  *  Extra, repeated, or otherwise unneeded calls to u_init() do no harm,
     58  *  other than taking a small amount of time.
     59  *
     60  * @param status An ICU UErrorCode parameter. It must not be <code>NULL</code>.
     61  *    An Error will be returned if some required part of ICU data can not
     62  *    be loaded or initialized.
     63  *    The function returns immediately if the input error code indicates a
     64  *    failure, as usual.
     65  *

     72  * Clean up the system resources, such as allocated memory or open files,
     73  * used in all ICU libraries. This will free/delete all memory owned by the
     74  * ICU libraries, and return them to their original load state. All open ICU
     75  * items (collators, resource bundles, converters, etc.) must be closed before
     76  * calling this function, otherwise ICU may not free its allocated memory
     77  * (e.g. close your converters and resource bundles before calling this
     78  * function). Generally, this function should be called once just before
     79  * an application exits. For applications that dynamically load and unload
     80  * the ICU libraries (relatively uncommon), u_cleanup() should be called
     81  * just before the library unload.
     82  * <p>
     83  * u_cleanup() also clears any ICU heap functions, mutex functions or
     84  * trace functions that may have been set for the process.
     85  * This has the effect of restoring ICU to its initial condition, before
     86  * any of these override functions were installed.  Refer to
     87  * u_setMemoryFunctions(), u_setMutexFunctions and
     88  * utrace_setFunctions().  If ICU is to be reinitialized after after
     89  * calling u_cleanup(), these runtime override functions will need to
     90  * be set up again if they are still required.
     91  * <p>
     92  * u_cleanup() is not thread safe.  All other threads should stop using ICU
     93  * before calling this function.
     94  * <p>
     95  * Any open ICU items will be left in an undefined state by u_cleanup(),
     96  * and any subsequent attempt to use such an item will give unpredictable
     97  * results.
     98  * <p>
     99  * After calling u_cleanup(), an application may continue to use ICU by
    100  * calling u_init().  An application must invoke u_init() first from one single
    101  * thread before allowing other threads call u_init().  All threads existing
    102  * at the time of the first thread's call to u_init() must also call
    103  * u_init() themselves before continuing with other ICU operations.
    104  * <p>
    105  * The use of u_cleanup() just before an application terminates is optional,
    106  * but it should be called only once for performance reasons. The primary
    107  * benefit is to eliminate reports of memory or resource leaks originating
    108  * in ICU code from the results generated by heap analysis tools.
    109  * <p>
    110  * <strong>Use this function with great care!</strong>
