This class can be used and instantiated * by itself, although it will be more useful when subclassed. * * Features: * - The constructor initializes the internal UErrorCode to U_ZERO_ERROR, * removing one common source of errors. * - Same use in C APIs taking a UErrorCode * (pointer) * and C++ taking UErrorCode & (reference) via conversion operators. * - Possible automatic checking for success when it goes out of scope. * * Note: For automatic checking for success in the destructor, a subclass * must implement such logic in its own destructor because the base class * destructor cannot call a subclass function (like handleFailure()). * The ErrorCode base class destructor does nothing. * * Note also: While it is possible for a destructor to throw an exception, * it is generally unsafe to do so. This means that in a subclass the destructor * and the handleFailure() function may need to take different actions. * * Sample code: * \code * class IcuErrorCode: public icu::ErrorCode { * public: * virtual ~IcuErrorCode() { * // Safe because our handleFailure() does not throw exceptions. * if(isFailure()) { handleFailure(); } * } * protected: * virtual void handleFailure() const { * log_failure(u_errorName(errorCode)); * exit(errorCode); * } * }; * IcuErrorCode error_code; * UConverter *cnv = ucnv_open("Shift-JIS", error_code); * length = ucnv_fromUChars(dest, capacity, src, length, error_code); * ucnv_close(cnv); * // IcuErrorCode destructor checks for success. * \endcode * * @stable ICU 4.2 */ class U_COMMON_API ErrorCode: public UMemory { public: /** * Default constructor.
