Detailed Description

C API: Unicode case mapping functions using a UCaseMap service object.

The service object takes care of memory allocations, data loading, and setup for the attributes, as usual.

Currently, the functionality provided here does not overlap with uchar.h and ustring.h, except for ucasemap_toTitle().

ucasemap_utf8XYZ() functions operate directly on UTF-8 strings.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define U_TITLECASE_NO_BREAK_ADJUSTMENT   0x200

Do not adjust the titlecasing indexes from BreakIterator::next() indexes; titlecase exactly the characters at breaks from the iterator.

Option bit for titlecasing APIs that take an options bit set.

By default, titlecasing will take each break iterator index, adjust it by looking for the next cased character, and titlecase that one. Other characters are lowercased.

This follows Unicode 4 & 5 section 3.13 Default Case Operations:

R3 toTitlecase(X): Find the word boundaries based on Unicode Standard Annex #29, "Text Boundaries." Between each pair of word boundaries, find the first cased character F. If F exists, map F to default_title(F); then map each subsequent character C to default_lower(C).

#define U_TITLECASE_NO_LOWERCASE   0x100

Do not lowercase non-initial parts of words when titlecasing.

Option bit for titlecasing APIs that take an options bit set.

By default, titlecasing will titlecase the first cased character of a word and lowercase all other characters. With this option, the other characters will not be modified.

Stable:

ICU 3.8

const char* ucasemap_getLocale

(

const UCaseMap *

csm

)

Get the locale ID that is used for language-dependent case mappings.

Parameters

csm	UCaseMap service object.

Returns

locale ID

Stable:

ICU 3.4

uint32_t ucasemap_getOptions

(

const UCaseMap *

csm

)

Get the options bit set that is used for case folding and string comparisons.

Parameters

csm	UCaseMap service object.

Returns

options bit set

Stable:

ICU 3.4

UCaseMap* ucasemap_open	(	const char *	locale,
		uint32_t	options,
		UErrorCode *	pErrorCode
	)

Open a UCaseMap service object for a locale and a set of options.

The locale ID and options are preprocessed so that functions using the service object need not process them in each call.

Parameters

locale	ICU locale ID, used for language-dependent upper-/lower-/title-casing according to the Unicode standard. Usual semantics: ""=root, NULL=default locale, etc.
options	Options bit set, used for case folding and string comparisons. Same flags as for u_foldCase(), u_strFoldCase(), u_strCaseCompare(), etc. Use 0 or U_FOLD_CASE_DEFAULT for default behavior.
pErrorCode	Must be a valid pointer to an error code value, which must not indicate a failure before the function call.

Returns

Pointer to a UCaseMap service object, if successful.

void ucasemap_setBreakIterator	(	UCaseMap *	csm,
		UBreakIterator *	iterToAdopt,
		UErrorCode *	pErrorCode
	)

Set the break iterator that is used for titlecasing.

The UCaseMap service object releases a previously set break iterator and "adopts" this new one, taking ownership of it. It will be released in a subsequent call to ucasemap_setBreakIterator() or ucasemap_close().

Break iterator operations are not thread-safe. Therefore, titlecasing functions use non-const UCaseMap objects. It is not possible to titlecase strings concurrently using the same UCaseMap.

Parameters

csm	UCaseMap service object.
iterToAdopt	Break iterator to be adopted for titlecasing.
pErrorCode	Must be a valid pointer to an error code value, which must not indicate a failure before the function call.

		const UChar *	src,
		int32_t	srcLength,
		UErrorCode *	pErrorCode
	)

Titlecase a UTF-16 string.

This function is almost a duplicate of u_strToTitle(), except that it takes ucasemap_setOptions() into account and has performance advantages from being able to use a UCaseMap object for multiple case mapping operations, saving setup time.

Casing is locale-dependent and context-sensitive. Titlecasing uses a break iterator to find the first characters of words that are to be titlecased. It titlecases those characters and lowercases all others. (This can be modified with ucasemap_setOptions().)

Note: This function takes a non-const UCaseMap pointer because it will open a default break iterator if no break iterator was set yet, and effectively call ucasemap_setBreakIterator(); also because the break iterator is stateful and will be modified during the iteration.

The titlecase break iterator can be provided to customize for arbitrary styles, using rules and dictionaries beyond the standard iterators. The standard titlecase iterator for the root locale implements the algorithm of Unicode TR 21.

This function uses only the setUText(), first(), next() and close() methods of the provided break iterator.

The result may be longer or shorter than the original. The source string and the destination buffer must not overlap.

Parameters

csm	UCaseMap service object. This pointer is non-const! See the note above for details.
dest	A buffer for the result string. The result will be NUL-terminated if the buffer is large enough. The contents is undefined in case of failure.
destCapacity	The size of the buffer (number of bytes). If it is 0, then dest may be NULL and the function will only return the length of the result without writing any of the result string.
src	The original string.
srcLength	The length of the original string. If -1, then src must be NUL-terminated.
pErrorCode	Must be a valid pointer to an error code value, which must not indicate a failure before the function call.

Returns

The length of the result string, if successful - or in case of a buffer overflow, in which case it will be greater than destCapacity.

		char *	dest,
		int32_t	destCapacity,
		const char *	src,
		int32_t	srcLength,
		UErrorCode *	pErrorCode
	)

Case-fold the characters in a UTF-8 string.

Case-folding is locale-independent and not context-sensitive, but there is an option for whether to include or exclude mappings for dotted I and dotless i that are marked with 'I' in CaseFolding.txt. The result may be longer or shorter than the original. The source string and the destination buffer must not overlap.

Parameters

csm	UCaseMap service object.
dest	A buffer for the result string. The result will be NUL-terminated if the buffer is large enough. The contents is undefined in case of failure.
destCapacity	The size of the buffer (number of bytes). If it is 0, then dest may be NULL and the function will only return the length of the result without writing any of the result string.
src	The original string.
srcLength	The length of the original string. If -1, then src must be NUL-terminated.
pErrorCode	Must be a valid pointer to an error code value, which must not indicate a failure before the function call.

Returns

The length of the result string, if successful - or in case of a buffer overflow, in which case it will be greater than destCapacity.
