17 * \brief C UConverter functions to aid the writers of callbacks
18 *
19 * <h2> Callback API for UConverter </h2>
20 *
21 * These functions are provided here for the convenience of the callback
22 * writer. If you are just looking for callback functions to use, please
23 * see ucnv_err.h. DO NOT call these functions directly when you are
24 * working with converters, unless your code has been called as a callback
25 * via ucnv_setFromUCallback or ucnv_setToUCallback !!
26 *
27 * A note about error codes and overflow. Unlike other ICU functions,
28 * these functions do not expect the error status to be U_ZERO_ERROR.
29 * Callbacks must be much more careful about their error codes.
30 * The error codes used here are in/out parameters, which should be passed
31 * back in the callback's error parameter.
32 *
33 * For example, if you call ucnv_cbfromUWriteBytes to write data out
34 * to the output codepage, it may return U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR if
35 * the data did not fit in the target. But this isn't a failing error,
36 * in fact, ucnv_cbfromUWriteBytes may be called AGAIN with the error
37 * status still U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR to attempt to write further bytes,
38 * which will also go into the internal overflow buffers.
39 *
40 * Concerning offsets, the 'offset' parameters here are relative to the start
41 * of SOURCE. For example, Suppose the string "ABCD" was being converted
42 * from Unicode into a codepage which doesn't have a mapping for 'B'.
43 * 'A' will be written out correctly, but
44 * The FromU Callback will be called on an unassigned character for 'B'.
45 * At this point, this is the state of the world:
46 * Target: A [..] [points after A]
47 * Source: A B [C] D [points to C - B has been consumed]
48 * 0 1 2 3
49 * codePoint = "B" [the unassigned codepoint]
50 *
51 * Now, suppose a callback wants to write the substitution character '?' to
52 * the target. It calls ucnv_cbFromUWriteBytes() to write the ?.
53 * It should pass ZERO as the offset, because the offset as far as the
54 * callback is concerned is relative to the SOURCE pointer [which points
55 * before 'C'.] If the callback goes into the args and consumes 'C' also,
56 * it would call FromUWriteBytes with an offset of 1 (and advance the source
57 * pointer).
