Detailed Description
Base class for 'pure' C++ implementations of uenum api.
Adds a method that returns the next UnicodeString since in C++ this can be a common storage format for strings.
The model is that the enumeration is over strings maintained by a 'service.' At any point, the service might change, invalidating the enumerator (though this is expected to be rare). The iterator returns an error if this has occurred. Lack of the error is no guarantee that the service didn't change immediately after the call, so the returned string still might not be 'valid' on subsequent use.
Strings may take the form of const char*, const char16_t*, or const UnicodeString*. The type you get is determine by the variant of 'next' that you call. In general the StringEnumeration is optimized for one of these types, but all StringEnumerations can return all types. Returned strings are each terminated with a NUL. Depending on the service data, they might also include embedded NUL characters, so API is provided to optionally return the true length, counting the embedded NULs but not counting the terminating NUL.
The pointers returned by next, unext, and snext become invalid upon any subsequent call to the enumeration's destructor, next, unext, snext, or reset.
ICU 2.8 adds some default implementations and helper functions for subclasses.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ ~StringEnumeration()
◆ StringEnumeration()
|
protected |
Default constructor for use with default implementations and subclasses.
- Stable:
- ICU 2.8
Member Function Documentation
◆ clone()
|
virtual |
Clone this object, an instance of a subclass of StringEnumeration.
Clones can be used concurrently in multiple threads. If a subclass does not implement clone(), or if an error occurs, then nullptr is returned. The caller must delete the clone.
- Returns
- a clone of this object
- See also
- getDynamicClassID
- Stable:
- ICU 2.8
◆ count()
|
pure virtual |
Return the number of elements that the iterator traverses. If the iterator is out of sync with its service, status is set to U_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC_ERROR, and the return value is zero.
The return value will not change except possibly as a result of a subsequent call to reset, or if the iterator becomes out of sync.
This is a convenience function. It can end up being very expensive as all the items might have to be pre-fetched (depending on the storage format of the data being traversed).
- Parameters
-
status the error code.
- Returns
- number of elements in the iterator.
- Stable:
- ICU 2.4
◆ ensureCharsCapacity()
|
protected |
Ensures that chars is at least as large as the requested capacity.
For use with default implementations and subclasses.
- Parameters
-
capacity Requested capacity. status ICU in/out error code.
- Stable:
- ICU 2.8
◆ next()
|
virtual |
Returns the next element as a NUL-terminated char*. If there are no more elements, returns nullptr. If the resultLength pointer is not nullptr, the length of the string (not counting the terminating NUL) is returned at that address. If an error status is returned, the value at resultLength is undefined.
The returned pointer is owned by this iterator and must not be deleted by the caller. The pointer is valid until the next call to next, unext, snext, reset, or the enumerator's destructor.
If the iterator is out of sync with its service, status is set to U_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC_ERROR and nullptr is returned.
If the native service string is a char16_t* string, it is converted to char* with the invariant converter. If the conversion fails (because a character cannot be converted) then status is set to U_INVARIANT_CONVERSION_ERROR and the return value is undefined (though not nullptr).
Starting with ICU 2.8, the default implementation calls snext() and handles the conversion. Either next() or snext() must be implemented differently by a subclass.
- Parameters
-
status the error code. resultLength a pointer to receive the length, can be nullptr.
- Returns
- a pointer to the string, or nullptr.
- Stable:
- ICU 2.4
◆ operator!=()
|
virtual |
Compares this enumeration to other to check if both are not equal.
- Parameters
-
that The other string enumeration to compare this object to
- Returns
- true if the enumerations are equal. false if not.
- Stable:
- ICU 3.6
◆ operator==()
|
virtual |
Compares this enumeration to other to check if both are equal.
- Parameters
-
that The other string enumeration to compare this object to
- Returns
- true if the enumerations are equal. false if not.
- Stable:
- ICU 3.6
◆ reset()
|
pure virtual |
Resets the iterator. This re-establishes sync with the service and rewinds the iterator to start at the first element.
Previous pointers returned by next, unext, or snext become invalid, and the value returned by count might change.
- Parameters
-
status the error code.
- Stable:
- ICU 2.4
◆ setChars()
|
protected |
Converts s to Unicode and sets unistr to the result.
For use with default implementations and subclasses, especially for implementations of snext() in terms of next(). This is provided with a helper function instead of a default implementation of snext() to avoid potential infinite loops between next() and snext().
For example:
- Parameters
-
s String to be converted to Unicode. length Length of the string. status ICU in/out error code.
- Returns
- A pointer to unistr.
- Stable:
- ICU 2.8
◆ snext()
|
virtual |
Returns the next element a UnicodeString*. If there are no more elements, returns nullptr.
The returned pointer is owned by this iterator and must not be deleted by the caller. The pointer is valid until the next call to next, unext, snext, reset, or the enumerator's destructor.
If the iterator is out of sync with its service, status is set to U_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC_ERROR and nullptr is returned.
Starting with ICU 2.8, the default implementation calls next() and handles the conversion. Either next() or snext() must be implemented differently by a subclass.
- Parameters
-
status the error code.
- Returns
- a pointer to the string, or nullptr.
- Stable:
- ICU 2.4
◆ unext()
|
virtual |
Returns the next element as a NUL-terminated char16_t*. If there are no more elements, returns nullptr. If the resultLength pointer is not nullptr, the length of the string (not counting the terminating NUL) is returned at that address. If an error status is returned, the value at resultLength is undefined.
The returned pointer is owned by this iterator and must not be deleted by the caller. The pointer is valid until the next call to next, unext, snext, reset, or the enumerator's destructor.
If the iterator is out of sync with its service, status is set to U_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC_ERROR and nullptr is returned.
Starting with ICU 2.8, the default implementation calls snext() and handles the conversion.
- Parameters
-
status the error code. resultLength a pointer to receive the length, can be nullptr.
- Returns
- a pointer to the string, or nullptr.

- ICU 2.4
