27 Conversions between UTF32, UTF-16, and UTF-8. Header file.
28
29 Several functions are included here, forming a complete set of
30 conversions between the three formats. UTF-7 is not included
31 here, but is handled in a separate source file.
32
33 Each of these routines takes pointers to input buffers and output
34 buffers. The input buffers are const.
35
36 Each routine converts the text between *sourceStart and sourceEnd,
37 putting the result into the buffer between *targetStart and
38 targetEnd. Note: the end pointers are *after* the last item: e.g.,
39 *(sourceEnd - 1) is the last item.
40
41 The return result indicates whether the conversion was successful,
42 and if not, whether the problem was in the source or target buffers.
43 (Only the first encountered problem is indicated.)
44
45 After the conversion, *sourceStart and *targetStart are both
46 updated to point to the end of last text successfully converted in
47 the respective buffers.
48
49 General (parameter) errors:
50 - If any illegal parameter (that means NULL pointers) is passed
51 then in cases of sourceStart, sourceEnd or length "sourceIllegal"
52 is returned. \n
53 In case of NULL targetStart or targetEnd then "targetExhausted" is
54 returned. \n
55 None of any parameter passed to those functions will
56 be changed in those cases.
57 - In cases of caught exceptions "sourceIllegal" or "false" will be
58 returned after sending a fatal error message to the ML error handler.
59 The state of the target buffers or return pointers is left
60 undefined then.
61
62 Input parameters:
63 sourceStart - pointer to a pointer to the source buffer.
64 The contents of this are modified on return so that
65 it points at the next thing to be converted.
66 targetStart - similarly, pointer to pointer to the target buffer.
67 sourceEnd, targetEnd - respectively pointers to the ends of the
68 two buffers, for overflow checking only.
69
70 These conversion functions take a ConversionFlags argument. When this
71 flag is set to strict, both irregular sequences and isolated surrogates
72 will cause an error. When the flag is set to lenient, both irregular
73 sequences and isolated surrogates are converted.
74
75 Whether the flag is strict or lenient, all illegal sequences will cause
76 an error return. This includes sequences such as: <F4 90 80 80>, <C0 80>,
77 or <A0> in UTF-8, and values above 0x10FFFF in UTF-32. Conform code
78 must check for illegal sequences.
79
80 When the flag is set to lenient, characters over 0x10FFFF are converted
81 to the replacement character; otherwise (when the flag is set to strict)
82 they constitute an error.
83
84 Output parameters:
85 The value "sourceIllegal" is returned from some routines if the input
86 sequence is malformed. When "sourceIllegal" is returned, the source
87 value will point to the illegal value that caused the problem. E.g.,
88 in UTF-8 when a sequence is malformed, it points to the start of the
89 malformed sequence.
