## Detailed Description

Basic types and constants for UTF.

## Basic types and constants for UTF

This file defines basic types and constants for utf.h to be platform-independent. umachine.h and utf.h are included into utypes.h to provide all the general definitions for ICU. All of these definitions used to be in utypes.h before the UTF-handling macros made this unmaintainable.

Definition in file umachine.h.

## Typedef Documentation

typedef int8_t UBool

The ICU boolean type.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

Definition at line 219 of file umachine.h.

UChar

Define UChar to be wchar_t if that is 16 bits wide; always assumed to be unsigned.

If wchar_t is not 16 bits wide, then define UChar to be uint16_t or char16_t because GCC >=4.4 can handle UTF16 string literals. This makes the definition of UChar platform-dependent but allows direct string type compatibility with platforms with 16-bit wchar_t types.

Draft:
  This API may be changed in the future versions and was introduced in ICU 4.4

Definition at line 316 of file umachine.h.

typedef int32_t UChar32

Define UChar32 as a type for single Unicode code points.

UChar32 is a signed 32-bit integer (same as int32_t).

The Unicode code point range is 0..0x10ffff. All other values (negative or >=0x110000) are illegal as Unicode code points. They may be used as sentinel values to indicate "done", "error" or similar non-code point conditions.

Before ICU 2.4 (Jitterbug 2146), UChar32 was defined to be wchar_t if that is 32 bits wide (wchar_t may be signed or unsigned) or else to be uint32_t. That is, the definition of UChar32 was platform-dependent.
