* \brief C++ API: String Enumeration
24
* Base class for 'pure' C++ implementations of uenum api. Adds a
25
* method that returns the next UnicodeString since in C++ this can
26
* be a common storage format for strings.
28
* <p>The model is that the enumeration is over strings maintained by
29
* a 'service.' At any point, the service might change, invalidating
30
* the enumerator (though this is expected to be rare). The iterator
31
* returns an error if this has occurred. Lack of the error is no
32
* guarantee that the service didn't change immediately after the
33
* call, so the returned string still might not be 'valid' on
36
* <p>Strings may take the form of const char*, const UChar*, or const
37
* UnicodeString*. The type you get is determine by the variant of
38
* 'next' that you call. In general the StringEnumeration is
39
* optimized for one of these types, but all StringEnumerations can
40
* return all types. Returned strings are each terminated with a NUL.
41
* Depending on the service data, they might also include embedded NUL
42
* characters, so API is provided to optionally return the true
43
* length, counting the embedded NULs but not counting the terminating
46
* <p>The pointers returned by next, unext, and snext become invalid
47
* upon any subsequent call to the enumeration's destructor, next,
48
* unext, snext, or reset.</p>
50
* ICU 2.8 adds some default implementations and helper functions
55
class U_COMMON_API StringEnumeration : public UObject {
61
virtual ~StringEnumeration();
64
* Clone this object, an instance of a subclass of StringEnumeration.
65
* Clones can be used concurrently in multiple threads.
66
* If a subclass does not implement clone(), or if an error occurs,
67
* then NULL is returned.
68
* The clone functions in all subclasses return a base class pointer
69
* because some compilers do not support covariant (same-as-this)
70
* return types; cast to the appropriate subclass if necessary.
71
* The caller must delete the clone.
73
* @return a clone of this object
75

virtual StringEnumeration *clone() const;
81
* <p>Return the number of elements that the iterator traverses. If
82
* the iterator is out of sync with its service, status is set to
83
* U_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC_ERROR, and the return value is zero.</p>
85
* <p>The return value will not change except possibly as a result of
86
* a subsequent call to reset, or if the iterator becomes out of sync.</p>
88
* <p>This is a convenience function. It can end up being very
89
* expensive as all the items might have to be pre-fetched
90
* (depending on the storage format of the data being
93
* @param status the error code.
94
* @return number of elements in the iterator.
97
virtual int32_t count(UErrorCode& status) const = 0;
100
* <p>Returns the next element as a NUL-terminated char*. If there
101
* are no more elements, returns NULL. If the resultLength pointer
102
* is not NULL, the length of the string (not counting the
103
* terminating NUL) is returned at that address. If an error
104
* status is returned, the value at resultLength is undefined.</p>
106
* <p>The returned pointer is owned by this iterator and must not be
107
* deleted by the caller. The pointer is valid until the next call
108
* to next, unext, snext, reset, or the enumerator's destructor.</p>
110
* <p>If the iterator is out of sync with its service, status is set
111
* to U_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC_ERROR and NULL is returned.</p>
113
* <p>If the native service string is a UChar* string, it is
114
* converted to char* with the invariant converter. If the
115
* conversion fails (because a character cannot be converted) then
116
* status is set to U_INVARIANT_CONVERSION_ERROR and the return
117
* value is undefined (though not NULL).</p>
119
* Starting with ICU 2.8, the default implementation calls snext()
120
* and handles the conversion.
