C API: Initialize and clean up ICU.
Definition in file uclean.h.
typedef void * UMemAllocFn(const void *context, size_t size) |
Pointer type for a user supplied memory allocation function.
context | user supplied value, obtained from u_setMemoryFunctions(). |
size | The number of bytes to be allocated |
typedef void UMemFreeFn(const void *context, void *mem) |
Pointer type for a user supplied memory free function.
Behavior should be similar the standard C library free().
context | user supplied value, obtained from u_setMemoryFunctions(). |
mem | Pointer to the memory block to be freed. |
typedef void * UMemReallocFn(const void *context, void *mem, size_t size) |
Pointer type for a user supplied memory re-allocation function.
context | user supplied value, obtained from u_setMemoryFunctions(). |
mem | Pointer to the memory block to be resized. |
size | The new size for the block. |
typedef void* UMTX |
An opaque pointer type that represents an ICU mutex.
For user-implemented mutexes, the value will typically point to a struct or object that implements the mutex.
typedef int32_t UMtxAtomicFn(const void *context, int32_t *p) |
Pointer type for a user supplied atomic increment or decrement function.
context | user supplied value, obtained from u_setAtomicIncDecFunctions(). |
p | Pointer to a 32 bit int to be incremented or decremented |
typedef void UMtxFn(const void *context, UMTX *mutex) |
Function Pointer type for a user supplied mutex functions.
One of the user-supplied functions with this signature will be called by ICU whenever ICU needs to lock, unlock, or destroy a mutex.
context | user supplied value, obtained from u_setMutexFunctions(). |
mutex | specify the mutex on which to operate. |
typedef void UMtxInitFn(const void *context, UMTX *mutex, UErrorCode *status) |
Function Pointer type for a user supplied mutex initialization function.
The user-supplied function will be called by ICU whenever ICU needs to create a new mutex. The function implementation should create a mutex, and store a pointer to something that uniquely identifies the mutex into the UMTX that is supplied as a parameter.
context | user supplied value, obtained from u_setMutexFunctions(). |
mutex | Receives a pointer that identifies the new mutex. The mutex init function must set the UMTX to a non-null value. Subsequent calls by ICU to lock, unlock, or destroy a mutex will identify the mutex by the UMTX value. |
status | Error status. Report errors back to ICU by setting this variable with an error code. |
U_CAPI void u_cleanup | ( | void | ) |
Clean up the system resources, such as allocated memory or open files, used in all ICU libraries.
This will free/delete all memory owned by the ICU libraries, and return them to their original load state. All open ICU items (collators, resource bundles, converters, etc.) must be closed before calling this function, otherwise ICU may not free its allocated memory (e.g. close your converters and resource bundles before calling this function). Generally, this function should be called once just before an application exits. For applications that dynamically load and unload the ICU libraries (relatively uncommon), u_cleanup() should be called just before the library unload.
u_cleanup() also clears any ICU heap functions, mutex functions or trace functions that may have been set for the process.
This has the effect of restoring ICU to its initial condition, before any of these override functions were installed. Refer to u_setMemoryFunctions(), u_setMutexFunctions and utrace_setFunctions(). If ICU is to be reinitialized after calling u_cleanup(), these runtime override functions will need to be set up again if they are still required.
u_cleanup() is not thread safe. All other threads should stop using ICU before calling this function.
Any open ICU items will be left in an undefined state by u_cleanup(), and any subsequent attempt to use such an item will give unpredictable results.
After calling u_cleanup(), an application may continue to use ICU by calling u_init(). An application must invoke u_init() first from one single thread before allowing other threads call u_init(). All threads existing at the time of the first thread's call to u_init() must also call u_init() themselves before continuing with other ICU operations.
The use of u_cleanup() just before an application terminates is optional, but it should be called only once for performance reasons. The primary benefit is to eliminate reports of memory or resource leaks originating in ICU code from the results generated by heap analysis tools.
Use this function with great care!
U_CAPI void u_init | ( | UErrorCode * | status | ) |
Initialize ICU.
Use of this function is optional. It is OK to simply use ICU services and functions without first having initialized ICU by calling u_init().
u_init() will attempt to load some part of ICU's data, and is useful as a test for configuration or installation problems that leave the ICU data inaccessible. A successful invocation of u_init() does not, however, guarantee that all ICU data is accessible.
Multiple calls to u_init() cause no harm, aside from the small amount of time required.
In old versions of ICU, u_init() was required in multi-threaded applications to ensure the thread safety of ICU. u_init() is no longer needed for this purpose.
status | An ICU UErrorCode parameter. It must not be NULL . An Error will be returned if some required part of ICU data can not be loaded or initialized. The function returns immediately if the input error code indicates a failure, as usual. |
void u_setAtomicIncDecFunctions | ( | const void * | context, |
UMtxAtomicFn * | inc, | ||
UMtxAtomicFn * | dec, | ||
UErrorCode * | status | ||
) |
Set the functions that ICU will use for atomic increment and decrement of int32_t values.
Use of this function is optional; by default (without this function), ICU will use its own internal implementation of atomic increment/decrement. This function can only be used when ICU is in an initial, unused state, before u_init() has been called.
context | This pointer value will be saved, and then (later) passed as a parameter to the increment and decrement functions each time they are called. This function can only be called |
inc | Pointer to a function to do an atomic increment operation. Must be non-null. |
dec | Pointer to a function to do an atomic decrement operation. Must be non-null. |
status | Receives error values. |
U_CAPI void u_setMemoryFunctions | ( | const void * | context, |
UMemAllocFn * | a, | ||
UMemReallocFn * | r, | ||
UMemFreeFn * | f, | ||
UErrorCode * | status | ||
) |
Set the functions that ICU will use for memory allocation.
Use of this function is optional; by default (without this function), ICU will use the standard C library malloc() and free() functions. This function can only be used when ICU is in an initial, unused state, before u_init() has been called.
context | This pointer value will be saved, and then (later) passed as a parameter to the memory functions each time they are called. |
a | Pointer to a user-supplied malloc function. |
r | Pointer to a user-supplied realloc function. |
f | Pointer to a user-supplied free function. |
status | Receives error values. |
void u_setMutexFunctions | ( | const void * | context, |

UMtxFn * | destroy, | ||
UMtxFn * | lock, | ||
UMtxFn * | unlock, | ||
UErrorCode * | status | ||
) |

context | This pointer value will be saved, and then (later) passed as a parameter to the user-supplied mutex functions each time they are called. |
