26  * \brief C API: Abstract Unicode Text API
27  *
28  * The Text Access API provides a means to allow text that is stored in alternative
29  * formats to work with ICU services.  ICU normally operates on text that is
30  * stored in UTF-16 format, in (UChar *) arrays for the C APIs or as type
31  * UnicodeString for C++ APIs.
32  *
33  * ICU Text Access allows other formats, such as UTF-8 or non-contiguous
34  * UTF-16 strings, to be placed in a UText wrapper and then passed to ICU services.
35  *
36  * There are three general classes of usage for UText:
37  *
38  *     Application Level Use.  This is the simplest usage - applications would
39  *     use one of the utext_open() functions on their input text, and pass
40  *     the resulting UText to the desired ICU service.
41  *
42  *     Second is usage in ICU Services, such as break iteration, that will need to
43  *     operate on input presented to them as a UText.  These implementations
44  *     will need to use the iteration and related UText functions to gain
45  *     access to the actual text.
46  *
47  *     The third class of UText users are "text providers."  These are the
48  *     UText implementations for the various text storage formats.  An application
49  *     or system with a unique text storage format can implement a set of
50  *     UText provider functions for that format, which will then allow
51  *     ICU services to operate on that format.
52  *
53  *
54  * <em>Iterating over text</em>
55  *
56  * Here is sample code for a forward iteration over the contents of a UText
57  *
58  * \code
59  *    UChar32  c;
60  *    UText    *ut = whatever();
61  *
62  *    for (c=utext_next32From(ut, 0); c>=0; c=utext_next32(ut)) {
63  *       // do whatever with the codepoint c here.
64  *    }
65  * \endcode
66  *
67  * And here is similar code to iterate in the reverse direction, from the end
68  * of the text towards the beginning.
69  *
70  * \code
71  *    UChar32  c;
72  *    UText    *ut = whatever();
73  *    int      textLength = utext_nativeLength(ut);
74  *    for (c=utext_previous32From(ut, textLength); c>=0; c=utext_previous32(ut)) {
75  *       // do whatever with the codepoint c here.
76  *    }
77  * \endcode
78  *
79  * <em>Characters and Indexing</em>
80  *
81  * Indexing into text by UText functions is nearly always in terms of the native
82  * indexing of the underlying text storage.  The storage format could be UTF-8
83  * or UTF-32, for example.  When coding to the UText access API, no assumptions
84  * can be made regarding the size of characters, or how far an index
85  * may move when iterating between characters.
86  *
87  * All indices supplied to UText functions are pinned to the length of the
88  * text.  An out-of-bounds index is not considered to be an error, but is
89  * adjusted to be in the range  0 <= index <= length of input text.
90  *
91  *
92  * When an index position is returned from a UText function, it will be
93  * a native index to the underlying text.  In the case of multi-unit characters,
94  * it will  always refer to the first position of the character,
95  * never to the interior.  This is essentially the same thing as saying that
96  * a returned index will always point to a boundary between characters.
97  *
98  * When a native index is supplied to a UText function, all indices that
99  * refer to any part of a multi-unit character representation are considered
100  * to be equivalent.  In the case of multi-unit characters, an incoming index
101  * will be logically normalized to refer to the start of the character.
102  *
103  * It is possible to test whether a native index is on a code point boundary
104  * by doing a utext_setNativeIndex() followed by a utext_getNativeIndex().
105  * If the index is returned unchanged, it was on a code point boundary.  If
106  * an adjusted index is returned, the original index referred to the
107  * interior of a character.
108  *
109  * <em>Conventions for calling UText functions</em>
110  *
111  * Most UText access functions have as their first parameter a (UText *) pointer,
112  * which specifies the UText to be used.  Unless otherwise noted, the
113  * pointer must refer to a valid, open UText.  Attempting to
114  * use a closed UText or passing a NULL pointer is a programming error and
115  * will produce undefined results or NULL pointer exceptions.
116  *
117  * The UText_Open family of functions can either open an existing (closed)
118  * UText, or heap allocate a new UText.  Here is sample code for creating
119  * a stack-allocated UText.
120  *
121  * \code
122  *    char     *s = whatever();  // A utf-8 string
123  *    U_ErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
124  *    UText    ut = UTEXT_INITIALIZER;
125  *    utext_openUTF8(ut, s, -1, &status);
126  *    if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
127  *        // error handling
128  *    } else {
129  *        // work with the UText
130  *    }
131  * \endcode
132  *
133  * Any existing UText passed to an open function _must_ have been initialized,
134  * either by the UTEXT_INITIALIZER, or by having been originally heap-allocated
135  * by an open function.  Passing NULL will cause the open function to
136  * heap-allocate and fully initialize a new UText.
137  *

251 /**
252   *  Clone a UText.  This is much like opening a UText where the source text is itself
253   *  another UText.
254   *
255   *  A deep clone will copy both the UText data structures and the underlying text.
256   *  The original and cloned UText will operate completely independently; modifications
257   *  made to the text in one will not affect the other.  Text providers are not
258   *  required to support deep clones.  The user of clone() must check the status return
259   *  and be prepared to handle failures.
260   *
261   *  The standard UText implementations for UTF8, UChar *, UnicodeString and
262   *  Replaceable all support deep cloning.
263   *
264   *  The UText returned from a deep clone will be writable, assuming that the text
265   *  provider is able to support writing, even if the source UText had been made
266   *  non-writable by means of UText_freeze().
267   *
268   *  A shallow clone replicates only the UText data structures; it does not make
269   *  a copy of the underlying text.  Shallow clones can be used as an efficient way to
270   *  have multiple iterators active in a single text string that is not being
271   *  modified.
272   *
273   *  A shallow clone operation will not fail, barring truly exceptional conditions such
274   *  as memory allocation failures.
275   *
276   *  Shallow UText clones should be avoided if the UText functions that modify the
277   *  text are expected to be used, either on the original or the cloned UText.
278   *  Any such modifications  can cause unpredictable behavior.  Read Only
279   *  shallow clones provide some protection against errors of this type by
280   *  disabling text modification via the cloned UText.
281   *
282   *  A shallow clone made with the readOnly parameter == false will preserve the
283   *  utext_isWritable() state of the source object.  Note, however, that
284   *  write operations must be avoided while more than one UText exists that refer
285   *  to the same underlying text.
286   *
287   *  A UText and its clone may be safely concurrently accessed by separate threads.
288   *  This is true for read access only with shallow clones, and for both read and
289   *  write access with deep clones.
290   *  It is the responsibility of the Text Provider to ensure that this thread safety
291   *  constraint is met.
292   *
293   *  @param dest   A UText struct to be filled in with the result of the clone operation,
294   *                or NULL if the clone function should heap-allocate a new UText struct.
