40 /**
41  *
42  * <code>Transliterator</code> is an abstract class that
43  * transliterates text from one format to another.  The most common
44  * kind of transliterator is a script, or alphabet, transliterator.
45  * For example, a Russian to Latin transliterator changes Russian text
46  * written in Cyrillic characters to phonetically equivalent Latin
47  * characters.  It does not <em>translate</em> Russian to English!
48  * Transliteration, unlike translation, operates on characters, without
49  * reference to the meanings of words and sentences.
50  *
51  * <p>Although script conversion is its most common use, a
52  * transliterator can actually perform a more general class of tasks.
53  * In fact, <code>Transliterator</code> defines a very general API
54  * which specifies only that a segment of the input text is replaced
55  * by new text.  The particulars of this conversion are determined
56  * entirely by subclasses of <code>Transliterator</code>.
57  *
58  * <p><b>Transliterators are stateless</b>
59  *
60  * <p><code>Transliterator</code> objects are <em>stateless</em>; they
61  * retain no information between calls to
62  * <code>transliterate()</code>.  (However, this does <em>not</em>
63  * mean that threads may share transliterators without synchronizing
64  * them.  Transliterators are not immutable, so they must be
65  * synchronized when shared between threads.)  This might seem to
66  * limit the complexity of the transliteration operation.  In
67  * practice, subclasses perform complex transliterations by delaying
68  * the replacement of text until it is known that no other
69  * replacements are possible.  In other words, although the
70  * <code>Transliterator</code> objects are stateless, the source text
71  * itself embodies all the needed information, and delayed operation
72  * allows arbitrary complexity.
73  *
74  * <p><b>Batch transliteration</b>
75  *
76  * <p>The simplest way to perform transliteration is all at once, on a
77  * string of existing text.  This is referred to as <em>batch</em>
78  * transliteration.  For example, given a string <code>input</code>
79  * and a transliterator <code>t</code>, the call
80  *
81  *     String result = t.transliterate(input);
82  *
83  * will transliterate it and return the result.  Other methods allow
84  * the client to specify a substring to be transliterated and to use
85  * {@link Replaceable } objects instead of strings, in order to
86  * preserve out-of-band information (such as text styles).
87  *
88  * <p><b>Keyboard transliteration</b>
89  *
90  * <p>Somewhat more involved is <em>keyboard</em>, or incremental
91  * transliteration.  This is the transliteration of text that is
92  * arriving from some source (typically the user's keyboard) one
93  * character at a time, or in some other piecemeal fashion.
94  *
95  * <p>In keyboard transliteration, a <code>Replaceable</code> buffer
96  * stores the text.  As text is inserted, as much as possible is
97  * transliterated on the fly.  This means a GUI that displays the
98  * contents of the buffer may show text being modified as each new
99  * character arrives.
100  *
101  * <p>Consider the simple rule-based Transliterator:
102  * <pre>
103  *     th>{theta}
104  *     t>{tau}
105  * </pre>
106  *
107  * When the user types 't', nothing will happen, since the
108  * transliterator is waiting to see if the next character is 'h'.  To
109  * remedy this, we introduce the notion of a cursor, marked by a '|'
110  * in the output string:
111  * <pre>
112  *     t>|{tau}
113  *     {tau}h>{theta}
114  * </pre>
115  *
116  * Now when the user types 't', tau appears, and if the next character
117  * is 'h', the tau changes to a theta.  This is accomplished by
118  * maintaining a cursor position (independent of the insertion point,
119  * and invisible in the GUI) across calls to
120  * <code>transliterate()</code>.  Typically, the cursor will
121  * be coincident with the insertion point, but in a case like the one
122  * above, it will precede the insertion point.
123  *
124  * <p>Keyboard transliteration methods maintain a set of three indices
125  * that are updated with each call to
126  * <code>transliterate()</code>, including the cursor, start,
127  * and limit.  Since these indices are changed by the method, they are
128  * passed in an <code>int[]</code> array. The <code>START</code> index
129  * marks the beginning of the substring that the transliterator will
130  * look at.  It is advanced as text becomes committed (but it is not
131  * the committed index; that's the <code>CURSOR</code>).  The
132  * <code>CURSOR</code> index, described above, marks the point at
133  * which the transliterator last stopped, either because it reached
134  * the end, or because it required more characters to disambiguate
135  * between possible inputs.  The <code>CURSOR</code> can also be
136  * explicitly set by rules in a rule-based Transliterator.
137  * Any characters before the <code>CURSOR</code> index are frozen;
138  * future keyboard transliteration calls within this input sequence
139  * will not change them.  New text is inserted at the
140  * <code>LIMIT</code> index, which marks the end of the substring that
141  * the transliterator looks at.
142  *
143  * <p>Because keyboard transliteration assumes that more characters
144  * are to arrive, it is conservative in its operation.  It only
145  * transliterates when it can do so unambiguously.  Otherwise it waits
146  * for more characters to arrive.  When the client code knows that no
147  * more characters are forthcoming, perhaps because the user has
148  * performed some input termination operation, then it should call
149  * <code>finishTransliteration()</code> to complete any
150  * pending transliterations.
151  *
152  * <p><b>Inverses</b>
153  *
154  * <p>Pairs of transliterators may be inverses of one another.  For
155  * example, if transliterator <b>A</b> transliterates characters by
156  * incrementing their Unicode value (so "abc" -> "def"), and
157  * transliterator <b>B</b> decrements character values, then <b>A</b>
158  * is an inverse of <b>B</b> and vice versa.  If we compose <b>A</b>
159  * with <b>B</b> in a compound transliterator, the result is the
160  * identity transliterator, that is, a transliterator that does not
161  * change its input text.
162  *
163  * The <code>Transliterator</code> method <code>getInverse()</code>
164  * returns a transliterator's inverse, if one exists, or
165  * <code>null</code> otherwise.  However, the result of
166  * <code>getInverse()</code> usually will <em>not</em> be a true
167  * mathematical inverse.  This is because true inverse transliterators
168  * are difficult to formulate.  For example, consider two
169  * transliterators: <b>AB</b>, which transliterates the character 'A'
170  * to 'B', and <b>BA</b>, which transliterates 'B' to 'A'.  It might
171  * seem that these are exact inverses, since
172  *
173  * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly"A" x <b>AB</b> -> "B"<br>
174  * "B" x <b>BA</b> -> "A"\htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
175  *
176  * where 'x' represents transliteration.  However,
177  *
178  * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly"ABCD" x <b>AB</b> -> "BBCD"<br>
179  * "BBCD" x <b>BA</b> -> "AACD"\htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
180  *
181  * so <b>AB</b> composed with <b>BA</b> is not the
182  * identity. Nonetheless, <b>BA</b> may be usefully considered to be
183  * <b>AB</b>'s inverse, and it is on this basis that
184  * <b>AB</b><code>.getInverse()</code> could legitimately return
185  * <b>BA</b>.
186  *
187  * <p><b>IDs and display names</b>
188  *
189  * <p>A transliterator is designated by a short identifier string or
190  * <em>ID</em>.  IDs follow the format <em>source-destination</em>,
191  * where <em>source</em> describes the entity being replaced, and
192  * <em>destination</em> describes the entity replacing
193  * <em>source</em>.  The entities may be the names of scripts,
194  * particular sequences of characters, or whatever else it is that the
195  * transliterator converts to or from.  For example, a transliterator
196  * from Russian to Latin might be named "Russian-Latin".  A
197  * transliterator from keyboard escape sequences to Latin-1 characters
198  * might be named "KeyboardEscape-Latin1".  By convention, system
199  * entity names are in English, with the initial letters of words
200  * capitalized; user entity names may follow any format so long as
201  * they do not contain dashes.
202  *
203  * <p>In addition to programmatic IDs, transliterator objects have
204  * display names for presentation in user interfaces, returned by
205  * {@link #getDisplayName }.
206  *
207  * <p><b>Factory methods and registration</b>
208  *
209  * <p>In general, client code should use the factory method
210  * {@link #createInstance } to obtain an instance of a
211  * transliterator given its ID.  Valid IDs may be enumerated using
212  * <code>getAvailableIDs()</code>.  Since transliterators are mutable,
213  * multiple calls to {@link #createInstance } with the same ID will
214  * return distinct objects.
215  *
216  * <p>In addition to the system transliterators registered at startup,
217  * user transliterators may be registered by calling
218  * <code>registerInstance()</code> at run time.  A registered instance
219  * acts a template; future calls to {@link #createInstance } with the ID
220  * of the registered object return clones of that object.  Thus any
221  * object passed to <tt>registerInstance()</tt> must implement
222  * <tt>clone()</tt> properly.  To register a transliterator subclass
223  * without instantiating it (until it is needed), users may call
224  * {@link #registerFactory }.  In this case, the objects are
225  * instantiated by invoking the zero-argument public constructor of
226  * the class.
227  *
228  * <p><b>Subclassing</b>
229  *
230  * Subclasses must implement the abstract method
231  * <code>handleTransliterate()</code>.  <p>Subclasses should override
232  * the <code>transliterate()</code> method taking a
233  * <code>Replaceable</code> and the <code>transliterate()</code>
234  * method taking a <code>String</code> and <code>StringBuffer</code>
235  * if the performance of these methods can be improved over the
236  * performance obtained by the default implementations in this class.
237  *
238  * <p><b>Rule syntax</b>
239  *
240  * <p>A set of rules determines how to perform translations.
241  * Rules within a rule set are separated by semicolons (';').
242  * To include a literal semicolon, prefix it with a backslash ('\').
243  * Unicode Pattern_White_Space is ignored.
244  * If the first non-blank character on a line is '#',
245  * the entire line is ignored as a comment.
246  *
247  * <p>Each set of rules consists of two groups, one forward, and one
248  * reverse. This is a convention that is not enforced; rules for one
249  * direction may be omitted, with the result that translations in
250  * that direction will not modify the source text. In addition,
251  * bidirectional forward-reverse rules may be specified for
252  * symmetrical transformations.
253  *
254  * <p>Note: Another description of the Transliterator rule syntax is available in
255  * <a href="https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-general.html#Transform_Rules_Syntax">section
256  * Transform Rules Syntax of UTS #35: Unicode LDML</a>.
257  * The rules are shown there using arrow symbols ← and → and ↔.
258  * ICU supports both those and the equivalent ASCII symbols &lt; and &gt; and &lt;&gt;.
259  *
260  * <p>Rule statements take one of the following forms:
261  *
262  * <dl>
263  *     <dt><code>$alefmadda=\\u0622;</code></dt>
264  *     <dd><strong>Variable definition.</strong> The name on the
265  *         left is assigned the text on the right. In this example,
266  *         after this statement, instances of the left hand name,
267  *         &quot;<code>$alefmadda</code>&quot;, will be replaced by
268  *         the Unicode character U+0622. Variable names must begin
269  *         with a letter and consist only of letters, digits, and
270  *         underscores. Case is significant. Duplicate names cause
271  *         an exception to be thrown, that is, variables cannot be
272  *         redefined. The right hand side may contain well-formed
273  *         text of any length, including no text at all (&quot;<code>$empty=;</code>&quot;).
274  *         The right hand side may contain embedded <code>UnicodeSet</code>
275  *         patterns, for example, &quot;<code>$softvowel=[eiyEIY]</code>&quot;.</dd>
276  *     <dt><code>ai&gt;$alefmadda;</code></dt>
277  *     <dd><strong>Forward translation rule.</strong> This rule
278  *         states that the string on the left will be changed to the
279  *         string on the right when performing forward
280  *         transliteration.</dd>
281  *     <dt><code>ai&lt;$alefmadda;</code></dt>
282  *     <dd><strong>Reverse translation rule.</strong> This rule
283  *         states that the string on the right will be changed to
284  *         the string on the left when performing reverse
285  *         transliteration.</dd>
286  * </dl>
287  *
288  * <dl>
289  *     <dt><code>ai&lt;&gt;$alefmadda;</code></dt>
290  *     <dd><strong>Bidirectional translation rule.</strong> This
291  *         rule states that the string on the right will be changed
292  *         to the string on the left when performing forward
293  *         transliteration, and vice versa when performing reverse
294  *         transliteration.</dd>
295  * </dl>
296  *
297  * <p>Translation rules consist of a <em>match pattern</em> and an <em>output
298  * string</em>. The match pattern consists of literal characters,
299  * optionally preceded by context, and optionally followed by
300  * context. Context characters, like literal pattern characters,
301  * must be matched in the text being transliterated. However, unlike
302  * literal pattern characters, they are not replaced by the output
303  * text. For example, the pattern &quot;<code>abc{def}</code>&quot;
304  * indicates the characters &quot;<code>def</code>&quot; must be
305  * preceded by &quot;<code>abc</code>&quot; for a successful match.
306  * If there is a successful match, &quot;<code>def</code>&quot; will
307  * be replaced, but not &quot;<code>abc</code>&quot;. The final '<code>}</code>'
308  * is optional, so &quot;<code>abc{def</code>&quot; is equivalent to
309  * &quot;<code>abc{def}</code>&quot;. Another example is &quot;<code>{123}456</code>&quot;
310  * (or &quot;<code>123}456</code>&quot;) in which the literal
311  * pattern &quot;<code>123</code>&quot; must be followed by &quot;<code>456</code>&quot;.
312  *
313  * <p>The output string of a forward or reverse rule consists of
314  * characters to replace the literal pattern characters. If the
315  * output string contains the character '<code>|</code>', this is
316  * taken to indicate the location of the <em>cursor</em> after
317  * replacement. The cursor is the point in the text at which the
318  * next replacement, if any, will be applied. The cursor is usually
319  * placed within the replacement text; however, it can actually be
320  * placed into the preceding or following context by using the
321  * special character '@'. Examples:
322  *
323  * <pre>
324  *     a {foo} z &gt; | @ bar; # foo -&gt; bar, move cursor before a
325  *     {foo} xyz &gt; bar @@|; #&nbsp;foo -&gt; bar, cursor between y and z
326  * </pre>
327  *
328  * <p><b>UnicodeSet</b>
329  *
330  * <p><code>UnicodeSet</code> patterns may appear anywhere that
331  * makes sense. They may appear in variable definitions.
332  * Contrariwise, <code>UnicodeSet</code> patterns may themselves
333  * contain variable references, such as &quot;<code>$a=[a-z];$not_a=[^$a]</code>&quot;,
334  * or &quot;<code>$range=a-z;$ll=[$range]</code>&quot;.
335  *
336  * <p><code>UnicodeSet</code> patterns may also be embedded directly
337  * into rule strings. Thus, the following two rules are equivalent:
338  *
339  * <pre>
340  *     $vowel=[aeiou]; $vowel&gt;'*'; # One way to do this
341  *     [aeiou]&gt;'*'; # Another way
342  * </pre>
343  *
344  * <p>See {@link UnicodeSet} for more documentation and examples.
345  *
346  * <p><b>Segments</b>
347  *
348  * <p>Segments of the input string can be matched and copied to the
349  * output string. This makes certain sets of rules simpler and more
350  * general, and makes reordering possible. For example:
351  *
352  * <pre>
353  *     ([a-z]) &gt; $1 $1; # double lowercase letters
354  *     ([:Lu:]) ([:Ll:]) &gt; $2 $1; # reverse order of Lu-Ll pairs
355  * </pre>
356  *
357  * <p>The segment of the input string to be copied is delimited by
358  * &quot;<code>(</code>&quot; and &quot;<code>)</code>&quot;. Up to
359  * nine segments may be defined. Segments may not overlap. In the
360  * output string, &quot;<code>$1</code>&quot; through &quot;<code>$9</code>&quot;
361  * represent the input string segments, in left-to-right order of
362  * definition.
363  *
364  * <p><b>Anchors</b>
365  *
366  * <p>Patterns can be anchored to the beginning or the end of the text. This is done with the
367  * special characters '<code>^</code>' and '<code>$</code>'. For example:
368  *
369  * <pre>
370  *   ^ a&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; 'BEG_A'; &nbsp;&nbsp;# match 'a' at start of text
371  *   &nbsp; a&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; 'A'; # match other instances of 'a'
372  *   &nbsp; z $ &gt; 'END_Z'; &nbsp;&nbsp;# match 'z' at end of text
373  *   &nbsp; z&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; 'Z';&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; # match other instances of 'z'
374  * </pre>
375  *
376  * <p>It is also possible to match the beginning or the end of the text using a <code>UnicodeSet</code>.
377  * This is done by including a virtual anchor character '<code>$</code>' at the end of the
378  * set pattern. Although this is usually the match character for the end anchor, the set will
379  * match either the beginning or the end of the text, depending on its placement. For
380  * example:
381  *
382  * <pre>
383  *   $x = [a-z$]; &nbsp;&nbsp;# match 'a' through 'z' OR anchor
384  *   $x 1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; 2;&nbsp;&nbsp; # match '1' after a-z or at the start
385  *   &nbsp;&nbsp; 3 $x &gt; 4; &nbsp;&nbsp;# match '3' before a-z or at the end
386  * </pre>
387  *
388  * <p><b>Example</b>
389  *
390  * <p>The following example rules illustrate many of the features of
391  * the rule language.
392  *
393  * <table border="0" cellpadding="4">
394  *     <tr>
395  *         <td style="vertical-align: top;">Rule 1.</td>
396  *         <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>abc{def}&gt;x|y</code></td>
397  *     </tr>
398  *     <tr>
399  *         <td style="vertical-align: top;">Rule 2.</td>
400  *         <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>xyz&gt;r</code></td>
401  *     </tr>
402  *     <tr>
403  *         <td style="vertical-align: top;">Rule 3.</td>
404  *         <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>yz&gt;q</code></td>
405  *     </tr>
406  * </table>
407  *
408  * <p>Applying these rules to the string &quot;<code>adefabcdefz</code>&quot;

463  *
464  * <p>The order of rules is significant. If multiple rules may match
465  * at some point, the first matching rule is applied.
466  *
467  * <p>Forward and reverse rules may have an empty output string.
468  * Otherwise, an empty left or right hand side of any statement is a
469  * syntax error.
470  *
471  * <p>Single quotes are used to quote any character other than a
472  * digit or letter. To specify a single quote itself, inside or
473  * outside of quotes, use two single quotes in a row. For example,
474  * the rule &quot;<code>'&gt;'&gt;o''clock</code>&quot; changes the
475  * string &quot;<code>&gt;</code>&quot; to the string &quot;<code>o'clock</code>&quot;.
476  *
477  * <p><b>Notes</b>
478  *
479  * <p>While a Transliterator is being built from rules, it checks that
480  * the rules are added in proper order. For example, if the rule
481  * &quot;a&gt;x&quot; is followed by the rule &quot;ab&gt;y&quot;,
482  * then the second rule will throw an exception. The reason is that
483  * the second rule can never be triggered, since the first rule
484  * always matches anything it matches. In other words, the first
485  * rule <em>masks</em> the second rule.
