/**
* \file
* \brief C API: Code point macros
*
* This file defines macros for checking whether a code point is
* a surrogate or a non-character etc.
*
* The UChar and UChar32 data types for Unicode code units and code points
* are defined in umachines.h because they can be machine-dependent.
*
* utf.h is included by utypes.h and itself includes utf8.h and utf16.h after some
* common definitions. Those files define macros for efficiently getting code points
* in and out of UTF-8/16 strings.
* utf16.h macros have "U16_" prefixes.
* utf8.h defines similar macros with "U8_" prefixes for UTF-8 string handling.
*
* ICU processes 16-bit Unicode strings.
* Most of the time, such strings are well-formed UTF-16.
* Single, unpaired surrogates must be handled as well, and are treated in ICU
* like regular code points where possible.
* (Pairs of surrogate code points are indistinguishable from supplementary
* code points encoded as pairs of supplementary code units.)
*
* In fact, almost all Unicode code points in normal text (>99%)
* are on the BMP (<=U+ffff) and even <=U+d7ff.
* ICU functions handle supplementary code points (U+10000..U+10ffff)
* but are optimized for the much more frequently occurring BMP code points.
*
* utf.h defines UChar to be an unsigned 16-bit integer. If this matches wchar_t, then
* UChar is defined to be exactly wchar_t, otherwise uint16_t.
*
* UChar32 is defined to be a signed 32-bit integer (int32_t), large enough for a 21-bit
* Unicode code point (Unicode scalar value, 0..0x10ffff).
* Before ICU 2.4, the definition of UChar32 was similarly platform-dependent as
* the definition of UChar. For details see the documentation for UChar32 itself.
*
* utf.h also defines a small number of C macros for single Unicode code points.
* These are simple checks for surrogates and non-characters.
* For actual Unicode character properties see uchar.h.
*
* By default, string operations must be done with error checking in case
* a string is not well-formed UTF-16.
* The macros will detect if a surrogate code unit is unpaired
* (lead unit without trail unit or vice versa) and just return the unit itself
* as the code point.
* (It is an accidental property of Unicode and UTF-16 that all
* malformed sequences can be expressed unambiguously with a distinct subrange
* of Unicode code points.)
*
* The regular "safe" macros require that the initial, passed-in string index
* is within bounds. They only check the index when they read more than one
* code unit. This is usually done with code similar to the following loop:
* <pre>while(i<length) {
* U16_NEXT(s, i, length, c);
* // use c
* }</pre>
*
* When it is safe to assume that text is well-formed UTF-16
* (does not contain single, unpaired surrogates), then one can use
* U16_..._UNSAFE macros.
* These do not check for proper code unit sequences or truncated text and may
* yield wrong results or even cause a crash if they are used with "malformed"
* text.
* In practice, U16_..._UNSAFE macros will produce slightly less code but
* should not be faster because the processing is only different when a
* surrogate code unit is detected, which will be rare.
*
* Similarly for UTF-8, there are "safe" macros without a suffix,
* and U8_..._UNSAFE versions.
* The performance differences are much larger here because UTF-8 provides so
* many opportunities for malformed sequences.
* The unsafe UTF-8 macros are entirely implemented inside the macro definitions
* and are fast, while the safe UTF-8 macros call functions for all but the
* trivial (ASCII) cases.
* (ICU 3.6 optimizes U8_NEXT() and U8_APPEND() to handle most other common
* characters inline as well.)
*
* Unlike with UTF-16, malformed sequences cannot be expressed with distinct
* code point values (0..U+10ffff). They are indicated with negative values instead.
*
* For more information see the ICU User Guide Strings chapter
* (http://icu-project.org/userguide/strings.html).
*
* <em>Usage:</em>
* ICU coding guidelines for if() statements should be followed when using these macros.
* Compound statements (curly braces {}) must be used for if-else-while...
* bodies and all macro statements should be terminated with semicolon.
*
