RWUToUnicodeConverter provides a unidirectional text conversion facility for translating from strings in various encodings to UTF-16 encoded RWUString instances.
A converter does not synchronize modifications to its internal state, so converters cannot be shared between threads.
The convert() method appends the results of a conversion to a target buffer. If its flush
argument is true
, convert() flushes its internal buffers to the target buffer and clears its internal state. For modal encodings such as ISO-2022, clearing the internal state ensures that the next call to convert() can expect the source text to begin in the source encoding's default, unshifted state.
Calling convert() once with a value of true
for flush
is useful when converting a piece of text in its entirety from a source encoding to UTF-16. In contrast, convert() may be used to fill a target buffer in a piecemeal fashion. Repeatedly calling convert() with a value of false
for flush
, then calling it once with a value of true
, causes convert() to flush its buffers and clear its internal state only at the end of a multi-invocation conversion process.
At the conclusion of a successful call to convert() with flush
set to true
, the converter is reset automatically to a default, initial state, ready to start a new conversion process. Sometimes, however, it may be necessary to reset a converter explicitly using the reset() method:
Error Handling
Use setErrorResponse() to control how a converter handles ill-formed character encoding sequences in the source data. Take special care when processing multibyte encodings:
Program output:
typedef RWTFunctor<bool(char&)> RWUToUnicodeConverter::ConverterByteSource |
A callback used by one of the convert() overloads. It accepts a char
reference, which it fills if possible with the next char
. Return true
if the next char
is provided; otherwise, false
.
typedef RWTFunctor<bool(RWUChar32)> RWUToUnicodeConverter::DelimiterTest |
An ErrorResponseType value indicates what action an RWUToUnicodeConverter should take when it encounters an error during the conversion process. For example, the code units in the source string may be impossible to interpret as a code point value in the source encoding. The default error response is RWUToUnicodeConverter::Substitute.

Stop | Stops the conversion process, and throws an RWUException. |

inline |
Constructs a converter that is a deep copy of another converter. The new converter uses the same character encoding scheme as the original converter, and possesses the same internal state as the original converter.
Exercise care when copying converters, especially those used for stateful or multibyte encodings. The new converter may be initialized in a state that causes the converter to produce errors if used to convert a new chunk of text. Consider using reset() to restore the converter to a known state before use.
RWUException | Thrown to indicate that the copy could not be completed because memory could not be allocated for the underlying implementation object. |

Destructor.
void RWUToUnicodeConverter::convert | ( | char | source, |
RWUString & | target, | ||
bool | flush = true ) |
Converts a single byte source into an equivalent sequence of UTF-16 code units and appends those code units to the current contents of the target RWUString. The source contents are interpreted according to the character encoding scheme associated with self.
The boolean value flush specifies whether self should be flushed to ensure that any code units stored in the converter's internal state are written to target. The default (true
) value explicitly forces a flush and resets the converter to the known default state. This value must be set to true
when the current source buffer is the last available chunk of source.
You must also be sure that the source string encodes complete characters, if the output may be flushed, as any saved state and characters would be lost.
RWUException | Thrown if an unhandled conversion error occurs. The exception contains an error code of RWUTruncatedCharFound in the following situations: |
true
and source does not complete an MBCS sequence started in the previous invocation of convert().The target is not modified if an exception is thrown.
void RWUToUnicodeConverter::convert | ( | const char * | source, |
RWUString & | target, | ||
bool | flush = true ) |
Converts the sequence of bytes contained in the null-terminated source array into an equivalent sequence of UTF-16 code units and appends those code units to the current contents of the target RWUString. The source contents are interpreted according to the character encoding scheme associated with self.
The boolean value flush specifies whether self should be flushed to ensure that any code units stored in the converter's internal state are written to target. The default (true

void RWUToUnicodeConverter::convert | ( | const char | source[], |
int32_t | size, | ||
RWUString & | target, | ||
bool | flush = true ) |
Converts the sequence of bytes contained in the sized source array into an equivalent sequence of UTF-16 code units and appends those code units to the current contents of the target RWUString. size specifies the number of the bytes contained in the array. The source contents are interpreted according to the character encoding scheme associated with this converter. The array may contain embedded nulls.
The boolean value flush specifies whether self should be flushed to ensure that any code units stored in the converter's internal state are written to target. The default (true

bool RWUToUnicodeConverter::convert | ( | ConverterByteSource | source, |
RWUChar32 & | target, | ||
size_t & | currentByteCount, | ||
bool | flushAtEnd = true ) |
Attempts to convert the sequence of bytes produced by functor source into a single code point value and stores that value in target. Returns true
if a character was produced; otherwise, false
.
Because the number of bytes required to produce a single code point may not be known in advance, a functor is used to supply a sequence of bytes, one byte at a time, until enough bytes have been accumulated to complete a conversion. The functor should return a value of true
to indicate that there are more bytes available, and false
if there are not.
The number of bytes consumed by the conversion are added to the value in currentByteCount. A non-zero number of bytes may be consumed even if no character value is produced. This can happen when the source sequence ends in a sequence that does not encode a character; for example, a shift sequence.
If flushAtEnd is true
, the converter is flushed when the functor can supply no more bytes. To detect a truncated sequence at the end of the source sequence, flushAtEnd must be true
. If the functor may be given additional input data, flushAtEnd can be set to false
to continue conversion from the previous state.

bool | ignoreLeadingDelimiters = true, | ||
bool | flushAtEnd = true ) |
Attempts to convert the sequence of bytes produced by functor source into a single code point value and stores that value in target. Returns true
if a character was produced; otherwise, false
.
Because the number of bytes required to produce a single code point may not be known in advance, a functor is used to supply a sequence of bytes, one byte at a time, until enough bytes have been accumulated to complete a conversion. The functor should return a value of true
to indicate that there are more bytes available, and false
if there are not.
The number of bytes consumed by the conversion are added to the value in currentByteCount. A non-zero number of bytes may be consumed even if no character value is produced. This can happen when the source sequence ends in a sequence that does not encode a character; for example, a shift sequence.
Use maxNumCodePoints to limit the number of code points generated by the conversion. If maxNumCodePoints is zero, the conversion continues until a delimiter is encountered, or the end of the source sequence is reached. The actual number of code points may be greater if ill-formed sequences are encountered while using the Substitute and Skip error response types. In these cases, maxNumCodePoints really specifies the maximum number of code point conversions to attempt; some failed conversions will cause several code points to be emitted. Compare the code point length of target before and after the conversion to determine the actual number of code points produced.
The functor DelimiterTest identifies code points that should terminate a conversion. The functor must return true
if an RWUChar32 value passed to it is a delimiter; otherwise, false
. Any substitution code units produced because the error response type is Substitute or Escape, are also subject to the delimiter test. Delimiter code points do not appear in the result; they are discarded. Pass a default, uninitialized DelimiterTest instance to disable the test for delimiters. If no delimiters are defined, the conversion continues until maxNumCodePoints have been read or the end of the source sequence has been reached.
If ignoreLeadingDelimiters is true
, any delimiter code points that appear before the first non-delimiter code point are ignored. They are not appended to the result, and are not considered in the total code point count when testing for the maxNumCodeUnits limit.
If flushAtEnd is true
, the converter is flushed when the functor can supply no more bytes. To detect a truncated sequence at the end of the source sequence, flushAtEnd must be true
. If the functor may be given additional input data, flushAtEnd can be set to false
to continue conversion from the previous state.
If the current error response type is Substitute, this method appends a substitution character for each truncated multibyte character sequence. When this occurs, the value of the byte immediately following the sequence may be ignored or may be appended to the result. The specific behavior varies according to the source sequence and conversion. If that trailing byte was supposed to start another multibyte sequence, that sequence will also be found to be ill-formed; the converter is now "out-of-sync" with the source stream. The converter is not able to synchronize with the source stream until a single-byte character is consumed. If a multibyte character encoding sequence is truncated by the end of the source sequence when the error response type is Substitute, this method does not produce a substitution character, but instead throws an RWUException. This is not the case when the error response type is Skip.
RWUException | Thrown if a conversion error occurs. Any conversion results produced prior to the exception are appended to target. |
