     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 umachine.h because they can be machine-dependent.
     26  *
     27  * If U_NO_DEFAULT_INCLUDE_UTF_HEADERS is 0 then utf.h is included by utypes.h
     28  * and itself includes utf8.h and utf16.h after some
     29  * common definitions.
     30  * If U_NO_DEFAULT_INCLUDE_UTF_HEADERS is 1 then each of these headers must be
     31  * included explicitly if their definitions are used.
     32  *
     33  * utf8.h and utf16.h define macros for efficiently getting code points
     34  * in and out of UTF-8/16 strings.
     35  * utf16.h macros have "U16_" prefixes.
     36  * utf8.h defines similar macros with "U8_" prefixes for UTF-8 string handling.
     37  *
     38  * ICU mostly processes 16-bit Unicode strings.
     39  * Most of the time, such strings are well-formed UTF-16.
     40  * Single, unpaired surrogates must be handled as well, and are treated in ICU
     41  * like regular code points where possible.
     42  * (Pairs of surrogate code points are indistinguishable from supplementary
     43  * code points encoded as pairs of supplementary code units.)
     44  *
     45  * In fact, almost all Unicode code points in normal text (>99%)
     46  * are on the BMP (<=U+ffff) and even <=U+d7ff.
     47  * ICU functions handle supplementary code points (U+10000..U+10ffff)
     48  * but are optimized for the much more frequently occurring BMP code points.
     49  *
     50  * umachine.h defines UChar to be an unsigned 16-bit integer.
     51  * Where available, UChar is defined to be a char16_t
     52  * or a wchar_t (if that is an unsigned 16-bit type), otherwise uint16_t.
     53  *
     54  * UChar32 is defined to be a signed 32-bit integer (int32_t), large enough for a 21-bit
     55  * Unicode code point (Unicode scalar value, 0..0x10ffff).
     56  * Before ICU 2.4, the definition of UChar32 was similarly platform-dependent as
     57  * the definition of UChar. For details see the documentation for UChar32 itself.
     58  *
     59  * utf.h defines a small number of C macros for single Unicode code points.
     60  * These are simple checks for surrogates and non-characters.
     61  * For actual Unicode character properties see uchar.h.
     62  *
     63  * By default, string operations must be done with error checking in case
     64  * a string is not well-formed UTF-16.
     65  * The macros will detect if a surrogate code unit is unpaired
     66  * (lead unit without trail unit or vice versa) and just return the unit itself
     67  * as the code point.
     68  *
     69  * The regular "safe" macros require that the initial, passed-in string index
     70  * is within bounds. They only check the index when they read more than one
     71  * code unit. This is usually done with code similar to the following loop:
     72  * <pre>while(i<length) {
     73  *   U16_NEXT(s, i, length, c);
     74  *   // use c
     75  * }</pre>
     76  *
     77  * When it is safe to assume that text is well-formed UTF-16
     78  * (does not contain single, unpaired surrogates), then one can use
     79  * U16_..._UNSAFE macros.
     80  * These do not check for proper code unit sequences or truncated text and may
     81  * yield wrong results or even cause a crash if they are used with "malformed"
     82  * text.
     83  * In practice, U16_..._UNSAFE macros will produce slightly less code but
     84  * should not be faster because the processing is only different when a
     85  * surrogate code unit is detected, which will be rare.
     86  *
     87  * Similarly for UTF-8, there are "safe" macros without a suffix,
     88  * and U8_..._UNSAFE versions.
     89  * The performance differences are much larger here because UTF-8 provides so
     90  * many opportunities for malformed sequences.
     91  * The unsafe UTF-8 macros are entirely implemented inside the macro definitions
     92  * and are fast, while the safe UTF-8 macros call functions for all but the
     93  * trivial (ASCII) cases.
     94  * (ICU 3.6 optimizes U8_NEXT() and U8_APPEND() to handle most other common
     95  * characters inline as well.)
     96  *
     97  * Unlike with UTF-16, malformed sequences cannot be expressed with distinct
     98  * code point values (0..U+10ffff). They are indicated with negative values instead.
     99  *
    100  * For more information see the ICU User Guide Strings chapter
    101  * (http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings).
    102  *
    103  * <em>Usage:</em>
    104  * ICU coding guidelines for if() statements should be followed when using these macros.
    105  * Compound statements (curly braces {}) must be used  for if-else-while...
    106  * bodies and all macro statements should be terminated with semicolon.
    107  *
