36 /**
37  * Wrapper class for UErrorCode, with conversion operators for direct use
38  * in ICU C and C++ APIs.
39  * Intended to be used as a base class, where a subclass overrides
40  * the handleFailure() function so that it throws an exception,
41  * does an assert(), logs an error, etc.
42  * This is not an abstract base class. This class can be used and instantiated
43  * by itself, although it will be more useful when subclassed.
44  *
45  * Features:
46  * - The constructor initializes the internal UErrorCode to U_ZERO_ERROR,
47  *   removing one common source of errors.
48  * - Same use in C APIs taking a UErrorCode * (pointer)
49  *   and C++ taking UErrorCode & (reference) via conversion operators.
50  * - Possible automatic checking for success when it goes out of scope.
51  *
52  * Note: For automatic checking for success in the destructor, a subclass
53  * must implement such logic in its own destructor because the base class
54  * destructor cannot call a subclass function (like handleFailure()).
55  * The ErrorCode base class destructor does nothing.
56  *
57  * Note also: While it is possible for a destructor to throw an exception,
58  * it is generally unsafe to do so. This means that in a subclass the destructor
59  * and the handleFailure() function may need to take different actions.
60  *
61  * Sample code:
62  * \code
63  *   class IcuErrorCode: public icu::ErrorCode {
64  *   public:
65  *     virtual ~IcuErrorCode() {  // should be defined in .cpp as "key function"
66  *       // Safe because our handleFailure() does not throw exceptions.
67  *       if(isFailure()) { handleFailure(); }
68  *     }
69  *   protected:
70  *     virtual void handleFailure() const {
71  *       log_failure(u_errorName(errorCode));
72  *       exit(errorCode);
73  *     }
74  *   };
75  *   IcuErrorCode error_code;
76  *   UConverter *cnv = ucnv_open("Shift-JIS", error_code);
77  *   length = ucnv_fromUChars(dest, capacity, src, length, error_code);
78  *   ucnv_close(cnv);
79  *   // IcuErrorCode destructor checks for success.
80  * \endcode
81  *
