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