21 * \brief C API: Code point macros
22 *
23 * This file defines macros for checking whether a code point is
24 * a surrogate or a non-character etc.
25 *
26 * The UChar and UChar32 data types for Unicode code units and code points
27 * are defined in umachine.h because they can be machine-dependent.
28 *
29 * If U_NO_DEFAULT_INCLUDE_UTF_HEADERS is 0 then utf.h is included by utypes.h
30 * and itself includes utf8.h and utf16.h after some
31 * common definitions.
32 * If U_NO_DEFAULT_INCLUDE_UTF_HEADERS is 1 then each of these headers must be
33 * included explicitly if their definitions are used.
34 *
35 * utf8.h and utf16.h define macros for efficiently getting code points
36 * in and out of UTF-8/16 strings.
37 * utf16.h macros have "U16_" prefixes.
38 * utf8.h defines similar macros with "U8_" prefixes for UTF-8 string handling.
39 *
40 * ICU mostly processes 16-bit Unicode strings.
41 * Most of the time, such strings are well-formed UTF-16.
42 * Single, unpaired surrogates must be handled as well, and are treated in ICU
43 * like regular code points where possible.
44 * (Pairs of surrogate code points are indistinguishable from supplementary
45 * code points encoded as pairs of supplementary code units.)
46 *
47 * In fact, almost all Unicode code points in normal text (>99%)
48 * are on the BMP (<=U+ffff) and even <=U+d7ff.
49 * ICU functions handle supplementary code points (U+10000..U+10ffff)
50 * but are optimized for the much more frequently occurring BMP code points.
51 *
52 * umachine.h defines UChar to be an unsigned 16-bit integer.
53 * Where available, UChar is defined to be a char16_t
54 * or a wchar_t (if that is an unsigned 16-bit type), otherwise uint16_t.
55 *
56 * UChar32 is defined to be a signed 32-bit integer (int32_t), large enough for a 21-bit
57 * Unicode code point (Unicode scalar value, 0..0x10ffff).
58 * Before ICU 2.4, the definition of UChar32 was similarly platform-dependent as
59 * the definition of UChar. For details see the documentation for UChar32 itself.
60 *
61 * utf.h defines a small number of C macros for single Unicode code points.
62 * These are simple checks for surrogates and non-characters.
63 * For actual Unicode character properties see uchar.h.
64 *
65 * By default, string operations must be done with error checking in case
66 * a string is not well-formed UTF-16.
67 * The macros will detect if a surrogate code unit is unpaired
68 * (lead unit without trail unit or vice versa) and just return the unit itself
69 * as the code point.
70 *
71 * The regular "safe" macros require that the initial, passed-in string index
72 * is within bounds. They only check the index when they read more than one
73 * code unit. This is usually done with code similar to the following loop:
74 * <pre>while(i<length) {
75 * U16_NEXT(s, i, length, c);
76 * // use c
77 * }</pre>
78 *
79 * When it is safe to assume that text is well-formed UTF-16
80 * (does not contain single, unpaired surrogates), then one can use
81 * U16_..._UNSAFE macros.
82 * These do not check for proper code unit sequences or truncated text and may
83 * yield wrong results or even cause a crash if they are used with "malformed"
84 * text.
85 * In practice, U16_..._UNSAFE macros will produce slightly less code but
86 * should not be faster because the processing is only different when a
87 * surrogate code unit is detected, which will be rare.
88 *
89 * Similarly for UTF-8, there are "safe" macros without a suffix,
90 * and U8_..._UNSAFE versions.
91 * The performance differences are much larger here because UTF-8 provides so
92 * many opportunities for malformed sequences.
93 * The unsafe UTF-8 macros are entirely implemented inside the macro definitions
94 * and are fast, while the safe UTF-8 macros call functions for all but the
95 * trivial (ASCII) cases.
96 * (ICU 3.6 optimizes U8_NEXT() and U8_APPEND() to handle most other common
97 * characters inline as well.)
98 *
99 * Unlike with UTF-16, malformed sequences cannot be expressed with distinct
100 * code point values (0..U+10ffff). They are indicated with negative values instead.
101 *
102 * For more information see the ICU User Guide Strings chapter
103 * (http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings).
104 *
105 * <em>Usage:</em>
106 * ICU coding guidelines for if() statements should be followed when using these macros.
107 * Compound statements (curly braces {}) must be used for if-else-while...
108 * bodies and all macro statements should be terminated with semicolon.
