This class can be used and instantiated 38 * by itself, although it will be more useful when subclassed. 39 * 40 * Features: 41 * - The constructor initializes the internal UErrorCode to U_ZERO_ERROR, 42 * removing one common source of errors. 43 * - Same use in C APIs taking a UErrorCode * (pointer) 44 * and C++ taking UErrorCode & (reference) via conversion operators. 45 * - Possible automatic checking for success when it goes out of scope. 46 * 47 * Note: For automatic checking for success in the destructor, a subclass 48 * must implement such logic in its own destructor because the base class 49 * destructor cannot call a subclass function (like handleFailure()). 50 * The ErrorCode base class destructor does nothing. 51 * 52 * Note also: While it is possible for a destructor to throw an exception, 53 * it is generally unsafe to do so. This means that in a subclass the destructor 54 * and the handleFailure() function may need to take different actions. 55 * 56 * Sample code: 57 * \code 58 * class IcuErrorCode: public icu::ErrorCode { 59 * public: 60 * virtual ~IcuErrorCode() { 61 * // Safe because our handleFailure() does not throw exceptions. 62 * if(isFailure()) { handleFailure(); } 63 * } 64 * protected: 65 * virtual void handleFailure() const { 66 * log_failure(u_errorName(errorCode)); 67 * exit(errorCode); 68 * } 69 * }; 70 * IcuErrorCode error_code; 71 * UConverter *cnv = ucnv_open("Shift-JIS", error_code); 72 * length = ucnv_fromUChars(dest, capacity, src, length, error_code); 73 * ucnv_close(cnv); 74 * // IcuErrorCode destructor checks for success. 75 * \endcode 76 * 77 * @stable ICU 4.2 78 */ 79 class U_COMMON_API ErrorCode: public UMemory { 80 public: 81 /** 82 * Default constructor.
