     19  * \brief C API: Code point macros
     20  *
     21  * This file defines macros for checking whether a code point is
     22  * a surrogate or a non-character etc.
     23  *
     24  * The UChar and UChar32 data types for Unicode code units and code points
     25  * are defined in umachines.h because they can be machine-dependent.
     26  *
     27  * utf.h is included by utypes.h and itself includes utf8.h and utf16.h after some
     28  * common definitions. Those files define macros for efficiently getting code points
     29  * in and out of UTF-8/16 strings.
     30  * utf16.h macros have "U16_" prefixes.
     31  * utf8.h defines similar macros with "U8_" prefixes for UTF-8 string handling.
     32  *
     33  * ICU processes 16-bit Unicode strings.
     34  * Most of the time, such strings are well-formed UTF-16.
     35  * Single, unpaired surrogates must be handled as well, and are treated in ICU
     36  * like regular code points where possible.
     37  * (Pairs of surrogate code points are indistinguishable from supplementary
     38  * code points encoded as pairs of supplementary code units.)
     39  *
     40  * In fact, almost all Unicode code points in normal text (>99%)
     41  * are on the BMP (<=U+ffff) and even <=U+d7ff.
     42  * ICU functions handle supplementary code points (U+10000..U+10ffff)
     43  * but are optimized for the much more frequently occurring BMP code points.
     44  *
     45  * utf.h defines UChar to be an unsigned 16-bit integer. If this matches wchar_t, then
     46  * UChar is defined to be exactly wchar_t, otherwise uint16_t.
     47  *
     48  * UChar32 is defined to be a signed 32-bit integer (int32_t), large enough for a 21-bit
     49  * Unicode code point (Unicode scalar value, 0..0x10ffff).
     50  * Before ICU 2.4, the definition of UChar32 was similarly platform-dependent as
     51  * the definition of UChar. For details see the documentation for UChar32 itself.
     52  *
     53  * utf.h also defines a small number of C macros for single Unicode code points.
     54  * These are simple checks for surrogates and non-characters.
     55  * For actual Unicode character properties see uchar.h.
     56  *
     57  * By default, string operations must be done with error checking in case
     58  * a string is not well-formed UTF-16.
     59  * The macros will detect if a surrogate code unit is unpaired
     60  * (lead unit without trail unit or vice versa) and just return the unit itself
     61  * as the code point.
     62  * (It is an accidental property of Unicode and UTF-16 that all
     63  * malformed sequences can be expressed unambiguously with a distinct subrange
     64  * of Unicode code points.)
     65  *
     66  * The regular "safe" macros require that the initial, passed-in string index
     67  * is within bounds. They only check the index when they read more than one
     68  * code unit. This is usually done with code similar to the following loop:
     69  * <pre>while(i<length) {
     70  *   U16_NEXT(s, i, length, c);
     71  *   // use c
     72  * }</pre>
     73  *
     74  * When it is safe to assume that text is well-formed UTF-16
     75  * (does not contain single, unpaired surrogates), then one can use
     76  * U16_..._UNSAFE macros.
     77  * These do not check for proper code unit sequences or truncated text and may
     78  * yield wrong results or even cause a crash if they are used with "malformed"
     79  * text.
     80  * In practice, U16_..._UNSAFE macros will produce slightly less code but
     81  * should not be faster because the processing is only different when a
     82  * surrogate code unit is detected, which will be rare.
     83  *
     84  * Similarly for UTF-8, there are "safe" macros without a suffix,
     85  * and U8_..._UNSAFE versions.
     86  * The performance differences are much larger here because UTF-8 provides so
     87  * many opportunities for malformed sequences.
     88  * The unsafe UTF-8 macros are entirely implemented inside the macro definitions
     89  * and are fast, while the safe UTF-8 macros call functions for all but the
     90  * trivial (ASCII) cases.
     91  * (ICU 3.6 optimizes U8_NEXT() and U8_APPEND() to handle most other common
     92  * characters inline as well.)
     93  *
     94  * Unlike with UTF-16, malformed sequences cannot be expressed with distinct
     95  * code point values (0..U+10ffff). They are indicated with negative values instead.
     96  *
     97  * For more information see the ICU User Guide Strings chapter
     98  * (http://icu-project.org/userguide/strings.html).
     99  *
    100  * <em>Usage:</em>
    101  * ICU coding guidelines for if() statements should be followed when using these macros.
    102  * Compound statements (curly braces {}) must be used  for if-else-while...
    103  * bodies and all macro statements should be terminated with semicolon.
