-- This is one of the Ada 2012 package defined in AI05-0137-1. It is a parent
-- package that contains declarations used in the child packages for handling
-- UTF encoded strings. Note: this package is consistent with Ada 95, and may
-- be used in Ada 95 or Ada 2005 mode.

with Unchecked_Conversion;
package Ada.Strings.UTF_Encoding is
pragma Pure (UTF_Encoding);
subtype UTF_String is String;
-- Used to represent a string of 8-bit values containing a sequence of
-- values encoded in one of three ways (UTF-8, UTF-16BE, or UTF-16LE).
-- Typically used in connection with a Scheme parameter indicating which
-- of the encodings applies. This is not strictly a String value in the
-- sense defined in the Ada RM, but in practice type String accommodates
-- all possible 256 codes, and can be used to hold any sequence of 8-bit
-- codes. We use String directly rather than create a new type so that
-- all existing facilities for manipulating type String (e.g. the child
-- packages of Ada.Strings) are available for manipulation of UTF_Strings.
type Encoding_Scheme is (UTF_8, UTF_16BE, UTF_16LE);
-- Used to specify which of three possible encodings apply to a UTF_String
subtype UTF_8_String is String;
-- Similar to UTF_String but specifically represents a UTF-8 encoded string
subtype UTF_16_Wide_String is Wide_String;
-- This is similar to UTF_8_String but is used to represent a Wide_String
-- value which is a sequence of 16-bit values encoded using UTF-16. Again
-- this is not strictly a Wide_String in the sense of the Ada RM, but the
-- type Wide_String can be used to represent a sequence of arbitrary 16-bit
-- values, and it is more convenient to use Wide_String than a new type.
Encoding_Error : exception;
-- This exception is raised in the following situations:
-- a) A UTF encoded string contains an invalid encoding sequence
-- b) A UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE input string has an odd length
-- c) An incorrect character value is present in the Input string
-- d) The result for a Wide_Character output exceeds 16#FFFF#
-- The exception message has the index value where the error occurred.
-- The BOM (BYTE_ORDER_MARK) values defined here are used at the start of
-- a string to indicate the encoding. The convention in this package is
-- that on input a correct BOM is ignored and an incorrect BOM causes an
-- Encoding_Error exception. On output, the output string may or may not
-- include a BOM depending on the setting of Output_BOM.
