=head1 Unicode Support

This file contains various utility functions for manipulating UTF8-encoded
strings. For the uninitiated, this is a method of representing arbitrary
Unicode characters as a variable number of bytes, in such a way that
characters in the ASCII range are unmodified, and a zero byte never appears
within non-zero characters.

=for apidoc is_ascii_string

Returns true if the first C<len> bytes of the string C<s> are the same whether
or not the string is encoded in UTF-8 (or UTF-EBCDIC on EBCDIC machines).  That
is, if they are invariant.  On ASCII-ish machines, only ASCII characters
fit this definition, hence the function's name.

If C<len> is 0, it will be calculated using C<strlen(s)>.

=for apidoc uvuni_to_utf8_flags

Adds the UTF-8 representation of the Unicode code point C<uv> to the end
of the string C<d>; C<d> should have at least C<UTF8_MAXBYTES+1> free
bytes available. The return value is the pointer to the byte after the
end of the new character. In other words,

    d = uvuni_to_utf8_flags(d, uv, flags);

or, in most cases,

    d = uvuni_to_utf8(d, uv);

(which is equivalent to)

    d = uvuni_to_utf8_flags(d, uv, 0);

This is the recommended Unicode-aware way of saying

    *(d++) = uv;

where uv is a code point expressed in Latin-1 or above, not the platform's
native character set.  B<Almost all code should instead use L</uvchr_to_utf8>
or L</uvchr_to_utf8_flags>>.

This function will convert to UTF-8 (and not warn) even code points that aren't
legal Unicode or are problematic, unless C<flags> contains one or more of the
following flags:

If C<uv> is a Unicode surrogate code point and UNICODE_WARN_SURROGATE is set,
the function will raise a warning, provided UTF8 warnings are enabled.  If instead
UNICODE_DISALLOW_SURROGATE is set, the function will fail and return NULL.
If both flags are set, the function will both warn and return NULL.

The UNICODE_WARN_NONCHAR and UNICODE_DISALLOW_NONCHAR flags correspondingly
affect how the function handles a Unicode non-character.  And likewise, the
UNICODE_WARN_SUPER and UNICODE_DISALLOW_SUPER flags, affect the handling of
code points that are
above the Unicode maximum of 0x10FFFF.  Code points above 0x7FFF_FFFF (which are
even less portable) can be warned and/or disallowed even if other above-Unicode
code points are accepted by the UNICODE_WARN_FE_FF and UNICODE_DISALLOW_FE_FF
flags.

And finally, the flag UNICODE_WARN_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE selects all four of the
above WARN flags; and UNICODE_DISALLOW_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE selects all four
DISALLOW flags.

This is the "slow" version as opposed to the "fast" version which is

difference is a factor of 2 to 3.  For lengths (UTF8SKIP(s)) of four
or less you should use the IS_UTF8_CHAR(), for lengths of five or more
you should use the _slow().  In practice this means that the _slow()
will be used very rarely, since the maximum Unicode code point (as of
Unicode 4.1) is U+10FFFF, which encodes in UTF-8 to four bytes.  Only
the "Perl extended UTF-8" (e.g, the infamous 'v-strings') will encode into

=for apidoc utf8n_to_uvuni

Bottom level UTF-8 decode routine.
Returns the code point value of the first character in the string C<s>,
which is assumed to be in UTF-8 (or UTF-EBCDIC) encoding, and no longer than
C<curlen> bytes; C<*retlen> (if C<retlen> isn't NULL) will be set to
the length, in bytes, of that character.

The value of C<flags> determines the behavior when C<s> does not point to a
well-formed UTF-8 character.  If C<flags> is 0, when a malformation is found,
zero is returned and C<*retlen> is set so that (S<C<s> + C<*retlen>>) is the
next possible position in C<s> that could begin a non-malformed character.
Also, if UTF-8 warnings haven't been lexically disabled, a warning is raised.

Various ALLOW flags can be set in C<flags> to allow (and not warn on)
individual types of malformations, such as the sequence being overlong (that
is, when there is a shorter sequence that can express the same code point;
overlong sequences are expressly forbidden in the UTF-8 standard due to
potential security issues).  Another malformation example is the first byte of
a character not being a legal first byte.  See F<utf8.h> for the list of such
flags.  For allowed 0 length strings, this function returns 0; for allowed
overlong sequences, the computed code point is returned; for all other allowed
malformations, the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER is returned, as these have no
determinable reasonable value.

The UTF8_CHECK_ONLY flag overrides the behavior when a non-allowed (by other
flags) malformation is found.  If this flag is set, the routine assumes that
the caller will raise a warning, and this function will silently just set
C<retlen> to C<-1> (cast to C<STRLEN>) and return zero.

Note that this API requires disambiguation between successful decoding a NUL
character, and an error return (unless the UTF8_CHECK_ONLY flag is set), as
in both cases, 0 is returned.  To disambiguate, upon a zero return, see if the
first byte of C<s> is 0 as well.  If so, the input was a NUL; if not, the input
had an error.

Certain code points are considered problematic.  These are Unicode surrogates,
Unicode non-characters, and code points above the Unicode maximum of 0x10FFFF.
By default these are considered regular code points, but certain situations
warrant special handling for them.  If C<flags> contains
UTF8_DISALLOW_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE, all three classes are treated as
malformations and handled as such.  The flags UTF8_DISALLOW_SURROGATE,
UTF8_DISALLOW_NONCHAR, and UTF8_DISALLOW_SUPER (meaning above the legal Unicode
maximum) can be set to disallow these categories individually.

The flags UTF8_WARN_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE, UTF8_WARN_SURROGATE,
UTF8_WARN_NONCHAR, and UTF8_WARN_SUPER will cause warning messages to be raised
for their respective categories, but otherwise the code points are considered
valid (not malformations).  To get a category to both be treated as a
malformation and raise a warning, specify both the WARN and DISALLOW flags.
(But note that warnings are not raised if lexically disabled nor if
UTF8_CHECK_ONLY is also specified.)

Very large code points (above 0x7FFF_FFFF) are considered more problematic than
the others that are above the Unicode legal maximum.  There are several
reasons: they requre at least 32 bits to represent them on ASCII platforms, are
not representable at all on EBCDIC platforms, and the original UTF-8
specification never went above this number (the current 0x10FFFF limit was
imposed later).  (The smaller ones, those that fit into 32 bits, are
representable by a UV on ASCII platforms, but not by an IV, which means that
the number of operations that can be performed on them is quite restricted.)
The UTF-8 encoding on ASCII platforms for these large code points begins with a
byte containing 0xFE or 0xFF.  The UTF8_DISALLOW_FE_FF flag will cause them to
be treated as malformations, while allowing smaller above-Unicode code points.
(Of course UTF8_DISALLOW_SUPER will treat all above-Unicode code points,
including these, as malformations.) Similarly, UTF8_WARN_FE_FF acts just like
the other WARN flags, but applies just to these code points.

All other code points corresponding to Unicode characters, including private
use and those yet to be assigned, are never considered malformed and never
warn.

Most code should use L</utf8_to_uvchr_buf>() rather than call this directly.

The C<p> contains the pointer to the UTF-8 string encoding
the character that is being converted.  This routine assumes that the character
at C<p> is well-formed.

The C<ustrp> is a pointer to the character buffer to put the
conversion result to.  The C<lenp> is a pointer to the length
of the result.

The C<swashp> is a pointer to the swash to use.

Both the special and normal mappings are stored in F<lib/unicore/To/Foo.pl>,
and loaded by SWASHNEW, using F<lib/utf8_heavy.pl>.  The C<special> (usually,
but not always, a multicharacter mapping), is tried first.

The C<special> is a string like "utf8::ToSpecLower", which means the
hash %utf8::ToSpecLower.  The access to the hash is through
Perl_to_utf8_case().

The C<normal> is a string like "ToLower" which means the swash
%utf8::ToLower.

 * assumed to be in native 8-bit encoding. Caches the swatch in C<swash>.
 *
 * A "swash" is a hash which contains initially the keys/values set up by
 * SWASHNEW.  The purpose is to be able to completely represent a Unicode
 * property for all possible code points.  Things are stored in a compact form
 * (see utf8_heavy.pl) so that calculation is required to find the actual
 * property value for a given code point.  As code points are looked up, new
 * key/value pairs are added to the hash, so that the calculation doesn't have
 * to ever be re-done.  Further, each calculation is done, not just for the
 * desired one, but for a whole block of code points adjacent to that one.
 * For binary properties on ASCII machines, the block is usually for 64 code
 * points, starting with a code point evenly divisible by 64.  Thus if the
 * property value for code point 257 is requested, the code goes out and
 * calculates the property values for all 64 code points between 256 and 319,
 * and stores these as a single 64-bit long bit vector, called a "swatch",
 * under the key for code point 256.  The key is the UTF-8 encoding for code
 * point 256, minus the final byte.  Thus, if the length of the UTF-8 encoding
 * for a code point is 13 bytes, the key will be 12 bytes long.  If the value
 * for code point 258 is then requested, this code realizes that it would be
 * stored under the key for 256, and would find that value and extract the
 * relevant bit, offset from 256.
 *
 * Non-binary properties are stored in as many bits as necessary to represent
 * their values (32 currently, though the code is more general than that), not
 * as single bits, but the principal is the same: the value for each key is a
 * vector that encompasses the property values for all code points whose UTF-8
 * representations are represented by the key.  That is, for all code points
 * whose UTF-8 representations are length N bytes, and the key is the first N-1
 * bytes of that.
