or, in most cases,

    d = uvchr_to_utf8_flags(d, uv, 0);

This is the Unicode-aware way of saying

    *(d++) = uv;

If C<flags> is 0, this function accepts any UV as input, but very high code
points (above C<IV_MAX> for the platform)  will raise a deprecation warning.
This is typically 0x7FFF_FFFF in a 32-bit word.

Specifying C<flags> can further restrict what is allowed and not warned on, as
follows:

If C<uv> is a Unicode surrogate code point and C<UNICODE_WARN_SURROGATE> is set,
the function will raise a warning, provided UTF8 warnings are enabled.  If
instead C<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.

Similarly, the C<UNICODE_WARN_NONCHAR> and C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_NONCHAR> flags
affect how the function handles a Unicode non-character.

And likewise, the C<UNICODE_WARN_SUPER> and C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_SUPER> flags
affect the handling of code points that are above the Unicode maximum of
0x10FFFF.  Languages other than Perl may not be able to accept files that
contain these.

The flag C<UNICODE_WARN_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE> selects all three of
the above WARN flags; and C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE> selects all
three DISALLOW flags.  C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE> restricts the
allowed inputs to the strict UTF-8 traditionally defined by Unicode.
Similarly, C<UNICODE_WARN_ILLEGAL_C9_INTERCHANGE> and
C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_ILLEGAL_C9_INTERCHANGE> are shortcuts to select the
above-Unicode and surrogate flags, but not the non-character ones, as
defined in
L<Unicode Corrigendum #9|http://www.unicode.org/versions/corrigendum9.html>.
See L<perlunicode/Noncharacter code points>.

Code points above 0x7FFF_FFFF (2**31 - 1) were never specified in any standard,
so using them is more problematic than other above-Unicode code points.  Perl
invented an extension to UTF-8 to represent the ones above 2**36-1, so it is
likely that non-Perl languages will not be able to read files that contain
these that written by the perl interpreter; nor would Perl understand files
written by something that uses a different extension.  For these reasons, there
is a separate set of flags that can warn and/or disallow these extremely high
code points, even if other above-Unicode ones are accepted.  These are the
C<UNICODE_WARN_ABOVE_31_BIT> and C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_ABOVE_31_BIT> flags.  These
are entirely independent from the deprecation warning for code points above
C<IV_MAX>.  On 32-bit machines, it will eventually be forbidden to have any
code point that needs more than 31 bits to represent.  When that happens,
effectively the C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_ABOVE_31_BIT> flag will always be set on
32-bit machines.  (Of course C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_SUPER> will treat all
above-Unicode code points, including these, as malformations; and
C<UNICODE_WARN_SUPER> warns on these.)

On EBCDIC platforms starting in Perl v5.24, the Perl extension for representing
extremely high code points kicks in at 0x3FFF_FFFF (2**30 -1), which is lower
than on ASCII.  Prior to that, code points 2**31 and higher were simply
unrepresentable, and a different, incompatible method was used to represent
code points between 2**30 and 2**31 - 1.  The flags C<UNICODE_WARN_ABOVE_31_BIT>
and C<UNICODE_DISALLOW_ABOVE_31_BIT> have the same function as on ASCII
platforms, warning and disallowing 2**31 and higher.

=for apidoc utf8n_to_uvchr

THIS FUNCTION SHOULD BE USED IN ONLY VERY SPECIALIZED CIRCUMSTANCES.
Most code should use L</utf8_to_uvchr_buf>() rather than call this directly.

Bottom level UTF-8 decode routine.
Returns the native 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, encountering a malformation
causes zero to be 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.  Some UTF-8 input sequences may contain multiple malformations.
This function tries to find every possible one in each call, so multiple
warnings can be raised for each sequence.

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.  Even if allowed, this function generally returns the Unicode
REPLACEMENT CHARACTER when it encounters a malformation.  There are flags in
F<utf8.h> to override this behavior for the overlong malformations, but don't
do that except for very specialized purposes.

The C<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 C<NUL>
character, and an error return (unless the C<UTF8_CHECK_ONLY> flag is set), as
in both cases, 0 is returned, and, depending on the malformation, C<retlen> may
be set to 1.  To disambiguate, upon a zero return, see if the first byte of
C<s> is 0 as well.  If so, the input was a C<NUL>; if not, the input had an
error.  Or you can use C<L</utf8n_to_uvchr_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, which can be specified using the C<flags>
parameter.  If C<flags> contains C<UTF8_DISALLOW_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE>, all
three classes are treated as malformations and handled as such.  The flags
C<UTF8_DISALLOW_SURROGATE>, C<UTF8_DISALLOW_NONCHAR>, and
C<UTF8_DISALLOW_SUPER> (meaning above the legal Unicode maximum) can be set to
disallow these categories individually.  C<UTF8_DISALLOW_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE>
restricts the allowed inputs to the strict UTF-8 traditionally defined by
Unicode.  Use C<UTF8_DISALLOW_ILLEGAL_C9_INTERCHANGE> to use the strictness
definition given by
L<Unicode Corrigendum #9|http://www.unicode.org/versions/corrigendum9.html>.
The difference between traditional strictness and C9 strictness is that the
latter does not forbid non-character code points.  (They are still discouraged,
however.)  For more discussion see L<perlunicode/Noncharacter code points>.

The flags C<UTF8_WARN_ILLEGAL_INTERCHANGE>,
C<UTF8_WARN_ILLEGAL_C9_INTERCHANGE>, C<UTF8_WARN_SURROGATE>,
C<UTF8_WARN_NONCHAR>, and C<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
C<UTF8_CHECK_ONLY> is also specified.)

It is now deprecated to have very high code points (above C<IV_MAX> on the
platforms) and this function will raise a deprecation warning for these (unless
such warnings are turned off).  This value is typically 0x7FFF_FFFF (2**31 -1)
in a 32-bit word.

Code points above 0x7FFF_FFFF (2**31 - 1) were never specified in any standard,
so using them is more problematic than other above-Unicode code points.  Perl
invented an extension to UTF-8 to represent the ones above 2**36-1, so it is
likely that non-Perl languages will not be able to read files that contain
these; nor would Perl understand files
written by something that uses a different extension.  For these reasons, there
is a separate set of flags that can warn and/or disallow these extremely high
code points, even if other above-Unicode ones are accepted.  These are the
C<UTF8_WARN_ABOVE_31_BIT> and C<UTF8_DISALLOW_ABOVE_31_BIT> flags.  These
are entirely independent from the deprecation warning for code points above
C<IV_MAX>.  On 32-bit machines, it will eventually be forbidden to have any
code point that needs more than 31 bits to represent.  When that happens,
effectively the C<UTF8_DISALLOW_ABOVE_31_BIT> flag will always be set on
32-bit machines.  (Of course C<UTF8_DISALLOW_SUPER> will treat all
above-Unicode code points, including these, as malformations; and
C<UTF8_WARN_SUPER> warns on these.)

On EBCDIC platforms starting in Perl v5.24, the Perl extension for representing
extremely high code points kicks in at 0x3FFF_FFFF (2**30 -1), which is lower
than on ASCII.  Prior to that, code points 2**31 and higher were simply
unrepresentable, and a different, incompatible method was used to represent
code points between 2**30 and 2**31 - 1.  The flags C<UTF8_WARN_ABOVE_31_BIT>
and C<UTF8_DISALLOW_ABOVE_31_BIT> have the same function as on ASCII
platforms, warning and disallowing 2**31 and higher.

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

=for apidoc utf8n_to_uvchr_error

THIS FUNCTION SHOULD BE USED IN ONLY VERY SPECIALIZED CIRCUMSTANCES.
Most code should use L</utf8_to_uvchr_buf>() rather than call this directly.

This function is for code that needs to know what the precise malformation(s)
are when an error is found.

It is like C<L</utf8n_to_uvchr>> but it takes an extra parameter placed after
all the others, C<errors>.  If this parameter is 0, this function behaves
identically to C<L</utf8n_to_uvchr>>.  Otherwise, C<errors> should be a pointer
to a C<U32> variable, which this function sets to indicate any errors found.
Upon return, if C<*errors> is 0, there were no errors found.  Otherwise,
C<*errors> is the bit-wise C<OR> of the bits described in the list below.  Some
of these bits will be set if a malformation is found, even if the input
C<flags> parameter indicates that the given malformation is allowed; those
exceptions are noted:

=over 4

=item C<UTF8_GOT_ABOVE_31_BIT>

The code point represented by the input UTF-8 sequence occupies more than 31
bits.
This bit is set only if the input C<flags> parameter contains either the
C<UTF8_DISALLOW_ABOVE_31_BIT> or the C<UTF8_WARN_ABOVE_31_BIT> flags.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_CONTINUATION>

The input sequence was malformed in that the first byte was a a UTF-8
continuation byte.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_EMPTY>

The input C<curlen> parameter was 0.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_LONG>

The input sequence was malformed in that there is some other sequence that
evaluates to the same code point, but that sequence is shorter than this one.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_NONCHAR>

The code point represented by the input UTF-8 sequence is for a Unicode
non-character code point.
This bit is set only if the input C<flags> parameter contains either the
C<UTF8_DISALLOW_NONCHAR> or the C<UTF8_WARN_NONCHAR> flags.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_NON_CONTINUATION>

The input sequence was malformed in that a non-continuation type byte was found
in a position where only a continuation type one should be.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_OVERFLOW>

The input sequence was malformed in that it is for a code point that is not
representable in the number of bits available in a UV on the current platform.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_SHORT>

The input sequence was malformed in that C<curlen> is smaller than required for
a complete sequence.  In other words, the input is for a partial character
sequence.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_SUPER>

The input sequence was malformed in that it is for a non-Unicode code point;
that is, one above the legal Unicode maximum.
This bit is set only if the input C<flags> parameter contains either the
C<UTF8_DISALLOW_SUPER> or the C<UTF8_WARN_SUPER> flags.

=item C<UTF8_GOT_SURROGATE>

The input sequence was malformed in that it is for a -Unicode UTF-16 surrogate
code point.
This bit is set only if the input C<flags> parameter contains either the
C<UTF8_DISALLOW_SURROGATE> or the C<UTF8_WARN_SURROGATE> flags.

=back

To do your own error handling, call this function with the C<UTF8_CHECK_ONLY>
flag to suppress any warnings, and then examine the C<*errors> return.

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.

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

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 C<SWASHNEW>, using F<lib/utf8_heavy.pl>.  C<special> (usually,
but not always, a multicharacter mapping), is tried first.

C<special> is a string, normally C<NULL> or C<"">.  C<NULL> means to not use
any special mappings; C<""> means to use the special mappings.  Values other
than these two are treated as the name of the hash containing the special
mappings, like C<"utf8::ToSpecLower">.

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

Code points above the platform's C<IV_MAX> will raise a deprecation warning,
unless those are turned off.

/* The process for changing the case is essentially the same for the four case
 * change types, except there are complications for folding.  Otherwise the
 * difference is only which case to change to.  To make sure that they all do
 * the same thing, the bodies of the functions are extracted out into the
 * following two macros.  The functions are written with the same variable
 * names, and these are known and used inside these macros.  It would be
 * better, of course, to have inline functions to do it, but since different
 * macros are called, depending on which case is being changed to, this is not
 * feasible in C (to khw's knowledge).  Two macros are created so that the fold
 * function can start with the common start macro, then finish with its special
 * handling; while the other three cases can just use the common end macro.
 *
 * The algorithm is to use the proper (passed in) macro or function to change
 * the case for code points that are below 256.  The macro is used if using
 * locale rules for the case change; the function if not.  If the code point is
 * above 255, it is computed from the input UTF-8, and another macro is called
 * to do the conversion.  If necessary, the output is converted to UTF-8.  If
 * using a locale, we have to check that the change did not cross the 255/256
 * boundary, see check_locale_boundary_crossing() for further details.
 *
 * The macros are split with the correct case change for the below-256 case
 * stored into 'result', and in the middle of an else clause for the above-255
 * case.  At that point in the 'else', 'result' is not the final result, but is
 * the input code point calculated from the UTF-8.  The fold code needs to
 * realize all this and take it from there.
 *
 * If you read the two macros as sequential, it's easier to understand what's
 * going on. */

/* Note:
 * Returns the value of property/mapping C<swash> for the first character
 * of the string C<ptr>. If C<do_utf8> is true, the string C<ptr> is
 * assumed to be in well-formed UTF-8. If C<do_utf8> is false, the string C<ptr>
 * is 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 principle 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.
