* *This class will probably be deprecated in a future release of ICU, and replaced * with a more flexible and capable dictionary based break iterator. This change * should be invisible to applications, because creation and use of instances of * DictionaryBasedBreakIterator is through the factories and abstract * API on class BreakIterator, which will remain stable.
* *This class is not intended to be subclassed.
* * * DictionaryBasedBreakIterator uses the same rule language as RuleBasedBreakIterator, * but adds one more special substitution name: <dictionary>. This substitution * name is used to identify characters in words in the dictionary. The idea is that * if the iterator passes over a chunk of text that includes two or more characters * in a row that are included in <dictionary>, it goes back through that range and * derives additional break positions (if possible) using the dictionary. * * DictionaryBasedBreakIterator is also constructed with the filename of a dictionary * file. It follows a prescribed search path to locate the dictionary (right now, * it looks for it in /com/ibm/text/resources in each directory in the classpath, * and won't find it in JAR files, but this location is likely to change). The * dictionary file is in a serialized binary format. We have a very primitive (and * slow) BuildDictionaryFile utility for creating dictionary files, but aren't * currently making it public. Contact us for help. ** NOTE The DictionaryBasedIterator class is still under development. The * APIs are not in stable condition yet. */ class U_COMMON_API DictionaryBasedBreakIterator : public RuleBasedBreakIterator { private: /** * when a range of characters is divided up using the dictionary, the break * positions that are discovered are stored here, preventing us from having * to use either the dictionary or the state table again until the iterator * leaves this range of text */ int32_t* cachedBreakPositions; /** * The number of elements in cachedBreakPositions */ int32_t numCachedBreakPositions; /** * if cachedBreakPositions is not null, this indicates which item in the * cache the current iteration position refers to */ int32_t positionInCache; DictionaryBasedBreakIteratorTables *fTables; /**======================================================================= * Create a dictionary based break boundary detection iterator. * @param tablesImage The location for the dictionary to be loaded into memory * @param dictionaryFilename The name of the dictionary file * @param status the error code status * @return A dictionary based break detection iterator.
