19  * \brief C API: Code point macros
20  *
21  * This file defines macros for checking whether a code point is
22  * a surrogate or a non-character etc.
23  *
24  * The UChar and UChar32 data types for Unicode code units and code points
25  * are defined in umachines.h because they can be machine-dependent.
26  *
27  * utf.h is included by utypes.h and itself includes utf8.h and utf16.h after some
28  * common definitions. Those files define macros for efficiently getting code points
29  * in and out of UTF-8/16 strings.
30  * utf16.h macros have "U16_" prefixes.
31  * utf8.h defines similar macros with "U8_" prefixes for UTF-8 string handling.
32  *
33  * ICU processes 16-bit Unicode strings.
34  * Most of the time, such strings are well-formed UTF-16.
35  * Single, unpaired surrogates must be handled as well, and are treated in ICU
36  * like regular code points where possible.
37  * (Pairs of surrogate code points are indistinguishable from supplementary
38  * code points encoded as pairs of supplementary code units.)
39  *
40  * In fact, almost all Unicode code points in normal text (>99%)
41  * are on the BMP (<=U+ffff) and even <=U+d7ff.
42  * ICU functions handle supplementary code points (U+10000..U+10ffff)
43  * but are optimized for the much more frequently occurring BMP code points.
44  *
45  * utf.h defines UChar to be an unsigned 16-bit integer. If this matches wchar_t, then
46  * UChar is defined to be exactly wchar_t, otherwise uint16_t.
47  *
48  * UChar32 is defined to be a signed 32-bit integer (int32_t), large enough for a 21-bit
49  * Unicode code point (Unicode scalar value, 0..0x10ffff).
50  * Before ICU 2.4, the definition of UChar32 was similarly platform-dependent as
51  * the definition of UChar. For details see the documentation for UChar32 itself.
52  *
53  * utf.h also defines a small number of C macros for single Unicode code points.
54  * These are simple checks for surrogates and non-characters.
55  * For actual Unicode character properties see uchar.h.
56  *
57  * By default, string operations must be done with error checking in case
58  * a string is not well-formed UTF-16.
59  * The macros will detect if a surrogate code unit is unpaired
60  * (lead unit without trail unit or vice versa) and just return the unit itself
61  * as the code point.
62  * (It is an accidental property of Unicode and UTF-16 that all
63  * malformed sequences can be expressed unambiguously with a distinct subrange
64  * of Unicode code points.)
65  *
66  * The regular "safe" macros require that the initial, passed-in string index
67  * is within bounds. They only check the index when they read more than one
68  * code unit. This is usually done with code similar to the following loop:
69  * <pre>while(i<length) {
70  *   U16_NEXT(s, i, length, c);
71  *   // use c
72  * }</pre>
73  *
74  * When it is safe to assume that text is well-formed UTF-16
75  * (does not contain single, unpaired surrogates), then one can use
76  * U16_..._UNSAFE macros.
77  * These do not check for proper code unit sequences or truncated text and may
78  * yield wrong results or even cause a crash if they are used with "malformed"
79  * text.
80  * In practice, U16_..._UNSAFE macros will produce slightly less code but
81  * should not be faster because the processing is only different when a
82  * surrogate code unit is detected, which will be rare.
83  *
84  * Similarly for UTF-8, there are "safe" macros without a suffix,
85  * and U8_..._UNSAFE versions.
86  * The performance differences are much larger here because UTF-8 provides so
87  * many opportunities for malformed sequences.
88  * The unsafe UTF-8 macros are entirely implemented inside the macro definitions
89  * and are fast, while the safe UTF-8 macros call functions for all but the
90  * trivial (ASCII) cases.
91  * (ICU 3.6 optimizes U8_NEXT() and U8_APPEND() to handle most other common
92  * characters inline as well.)
93  *
94  * Unlike with UTF-16, malformed sequences cannot be expressed with distinct
95  * code point values (0..U+10ffff). They are indicated with negative values instead.
96  *
97  * For more information see the ICU User Guide Strings chapter
98  * (http://icu-project.org/userguide/strings.html).
99  *
100  * <em>Usage:</em>
101  * ICU coding guidelines for if() statements should be followed when using these macros.
102  * Compound statements (curly braces {}) must be used  for if-else-while...
103  * bodies and all macro statements should be terminated with semicolon.
