# UTF8-CPP: UTF-8 with C++ in a Portable Way

## Introduction
|
|
|
|
C++ developers still miss an easy and portable way of handling Unicode encoded strings. The original C++ standard (known as C++98 or C++03) is Unicode agnostic. Some progress has been made in the later editions of the standard, but it is still hard to work with Unicode using only the standard facilities.
|
|
|
|
I came up with a small, C++98 compatible generic library in order to handle UTF-8 encoded strings. For anybody used to work with STL algorithms and iterators, it should be easy and natural to use. The code is freely available for any purpose - check out the [license](./LICENSE). The library has been used a lot since the first release in 2006 both in commercial and open-source projects and proved to be stable and useful.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
This is a header-only library and the supported way of deploying it is:
|
|
- Download a release from https://github.com/nemtrif/utfcpp/releases into a temporary directory
|
|
- Unzip the release
|
|
- Copy the content of utfcpp/source file into the directory where you keep include files for your project
|
|
|
|
|
|
The CMakeList.txt file was originally made for testing purposes only, but unfortunately over time I accepted contributions that added install target. *This is not a supported way of installing the utfcpp library* and I am considering removing the CMakeList.txt in a future release.

|
|
### Introductory Sample
|
|
|
|
To illustrate the use of the library, let's start with a small but complete program that opens a file containing UTF-8 encoded text, reads it line by line, checks each line for invalid UTF-8 byte sequences, and converts it to UTF-16 encoding and back to UTF-8:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include <fstream>
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include <string>
|
|
#include <vector>
|
|
#include "utf8.h"
|
|
using namespace std;
|
|
int main(int argc, char** argv)
|
|
{
|
|
if (argc != 2) {
|
|
cout << "\nUsage: docsample filename\n";
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
const char* test_file_path = argv[1];
|
|
// Open the test file (must be UTF-8 encoded)
|
|
ifstream fs8(test_file_path);
|
|
if (!fs8.is_open()) {
|
|
cout << "Could not open " << test_file_path << endl;
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
unsigned line_count = 1;
|
|
string line;
|
|
// Play with all the lines in the file
|
|
while (getline(fs8, line)) {
|
|
// check for invalid utf-8 (for a simple yes/no check, there is also utf8::is_valid function)
|
|
#if __cplusplus >= 201103L // C++ 11 or later
|
|
auto end_it = utf8::find_invalid(line.begin(), line.end());
|
|
#else
|
|
string::iterator end_it = utf8::find_invalid(line.begin(), line.end());
|
|
#endif // C++ 11
|
|
if (end_it != line.end()) {
|
|
cout << "Invalid UTF-8 encoding detected at line " << line_count << "\n";
|
|
cout << "This part is fine: " << string(line.begin(), end_it) << "\n";
|
|
}
|
|
// Get the line length (at least for the valid part)
|
|
int length = utf8::distance(line.begin(), end_it);
|
|
cout << "Length of line " << line_count << " is " << length << "\n";
|
|
|
|
// Convert it to utf-16
|
|
#if __cplusplus >= 201103L // C++ 11 or later
|
|
u16string utf16line = utf8::utf8to16(line);
|
|
#else
|
|
vector<unsigned short> utf16line;
|
|
utf8::utf8to16(line.begin(), end_it, back_inserter(utf16line));
|
|
#endif // C++ 11
|
|
// And back to utf-8;
|
|
#if __cplusplus >= 201103L // C++ 11 or later
|
|
string utf8line = utf8::utf16to8(utf16line);
|
|
#else
|
|
string utf8line;
|
|
utf8::utf16to8(utf16line.begin(), utf16line.end(), back_inserter(utf8line));
|
|
#endif // C++ 11
|
|
// Confirm that the conversion went OK:
|
|
if (utf8line != string(line.begin(), end_it))
|
|
cout << "Error in UTF-16 conversion at line: " << line_count << "\n";
|
|
|
|
line_count++;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the previous code sample, for each line we performed a detection of invalid UTF-8 sequences with `find_invalid`; the number of characters (more precisely - the number of Unicode code points, including the end of line and even BOM if there is one) in each line was determined with a use of `utf8::distance`; finally, we have converted each line to UTF-16 encoding with `utf8to16` and back to UTF-8 with `utf16to8`.
|
|
|
|
Note a different pattern of usage for old compilers. For instance, this is how we convert
|
|
a UTF-8 encoded string to a UTF-16 encoded one with a pre - C++11 compiler:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
vector<unsigned short> utf16line;
|
|
utf8::utf8to16(line.begin(), end_it, back_inserter(utf16line));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With a more modern compiler, the same operation would look like:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
u16string utf16line = utf8::utf8to16(line);
|
|
```
|
|
If `__cplusplus` macro points to a C++ 11 or later, the library exposes API that takes into
|
|
account C++ standard Unicode strings and move semantics. With an older compiler, it is still
|
|
possible to use the same functionality, just in a little less convenient way
|
|
|
|
In case you do not trust the `__cplusplus` macro or, for instance, do not want to include
|
|
the C++ 11 helper functions even with a modern compiler, define `UTF_CPP_CPLUSPLUS` macro
|
|
before including `utf8.h` and assign it a value for the standard you want to use - the values are the same as for the `__cplusplus` macro. This can be also useful with compilers that are conservative in setting the `__cplusplus` macro even if they have a good support for a recent standard edition - Microsoft's Visual C++ is one example.

|
|
### Checking if a file contains valid UTF-8 text
|
|
|
|
Here is a function that checks whether the content of a file is valid UTF-8 encoded text without reading the content into the memory:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
bool valid_utf8_file(const char* file_name)
|
|
{
|
|
ifstream ifs(file_name);
|
|
if (!ifs)
|
|
return false; // even better, throw here
|
|
|
|
istreambuf_iterator<char> it(ifs.rdbuf());
|
|
istreambuf_iterator<char> eos;
|
|
|
|
return utf8::is_valid(it, eos);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Because the function `utf8::is_valid()` works with input iterators, we were able to pass an `istreambuf_iterator` to `it` and read the content of the file directly without loading it to the memory first.
|
|
|
|
Note that other functions that take input iterator arguments can be used in a similar way. For instance, to read the content of a UTF-8 encoded text file and convert the text to UTF-16, just do something like:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
utf8::utf8to16(it, eos, back_inserter(u16string));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<!-- TOC --><a name="ensure-that-a-string-contains-valid-utf-8-text"></a>
|
|
### Ensure that a string contains valid UTF-8 text
|
|
|
|
If we have some text that "probably" contains UTF-8 encoded text and we want to replace any invalid UTF-8 sequence with a replacement character, something like the following function may be used:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
void fix_utf8_string(std::string& str)
|
|
{
|
|
std::string temp;
|
|
utf8::replace_invalid(str.begin(), str.end(), back_inserter(temp));
|
|
str = temp;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The function will replace any invalid UTF-8 sequence with a Unicode replacement character. There is an overloaded function that enables the caller to supply their own replacement character.

## Points of interest
|

<!-- TOC --><a name="design-goals-and-decisions"></a>
|
|
#### Design goals and decisions
|
|
|
|
The library was designed to be:
|
|
|
|
1. Generic: for better or worse, there are many C++ string classes out there, and the library should work with as many of them as possible.
|
|
2. Portable: the library should be portable both across different platforms and compilers. The only non-portable code is a small section that declares unsigned integers of different sizes: three typedefs. They can be changed by the users of the library if they don't match their platform. The default setting should work for Windows (both 32 and 64 bit), and most 32 bit and 64 bit Unix derivatives. Support for post C++03 language features is included for modern compilers at API level only, so the library should work even with pretty old compilers.
|
|
3. Lightweight: follow the "pay only for what you use" guideline.
|
|
4. Unintrusive: avoid forcing any particular design or even programming style on the user. This is a library, not a framework.

|
For alternatives and comparisons, I recommend the following article: [The Wonderfully Terrible World of C and C++ Encoding APIs (with Some Rust)](https://thephd.dev/the-c-c++-rust-string-text-encoding-api-landscape), by JeanHeyd Meneide. In the article, this library is compared with:
|
|
|
|
- [simdutf](https://github.com/simdutf/simdutf)
|
|
- [iconv](https://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/)
|

|
|
- [ztd.text](https://github.com/soasis/text/)
|
|
|
|
The article presents author's view of the quality of the API design, but also some speed benchmarks.

<!-- TOC --><a name="octet_iterator-appendutfchar32_t-cp-octet_iterator-result"></a>
|
|
##### octet_iterator append(utfchar32_t cp, octet_iterator result)
|
|
|
|
Available in version 1.0 and later.
|
|
|
|
Encodes a 32 bit code point as a UTF-8 sequence of octets and appends the sequence to a UTF-8 string.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
template <typename octet_iterator>
|
|
octet_iterator append(utfchar32_t cp, octet_iterator result);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`octet_iterator`: an output iterator.
|
|
`cp`: a 32 bit integer representing a code point to append to the sequence.
|
|
`result`: an output iterator to the place in the sequence where to append the code point.
|
|
Return value: an iterator pointing to the place after the newly appended sequence.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
unsigned char u[5] = {0,0,0,0,0};
|
|
unsigned char* end = append(0x0448, u);
|
|
assert (u[0] == 0xd1 && u[1] == 0x88 && u[2] == 0 && u[3] == 0 && u[4] == 0);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that `append` does not allocate any memory - it is the burden of the caller to make sure there is enough memory allocated for the operation. To make things more interesting, `append` can add anywhere between 1 and 4 octets to the sequence. In practice, you would most often want to use `std::back_inserter` to ensure that the necessary memory is allocated.
|
|
|
|
In case of an invalid code point, a `utf8::invalid_code_point` exception is thrown.
|
|
|

|
|
##### void append(utfchar32_t cp, std::string& s);
|
|
|
|
Available in version 3.0 and later. Prior to 4.0 it required a C++ 11 compiler; the requirement is lifted with 4.0.
|
|
|
|
Encodes a 32 bit code point as a UTF-8 sequence of octets and appends the sequence to a UTF-8 string.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
void append(utfchar32_t cp, std::string& s);
|

|
Note that `append16` does not allocate any memory - it is the burden of the caller to make sure there is enough memory allocated for the operation. To make things more interesting, `append16` can add either one or two words to the sequence. In practice, you would most often want to use `std::back_inserter` to ensure that the necessary memory is allocated.

|

Given a reference to an iterator pointing to an octet in a UTF-8 sequence, it decreases the iterator until it hits the beginning of the previous UTF-8 encoded code point and returns the 32 bits representation of the code point.
|
|
|
|
```cpp

template <typename octet_iterator>

utfchar32_t prior(octet_iterator& it, octet_iterator start);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`octet_iterator`: a bidirectional iterator.
|
|
`it`: a reference pointing to an octet within a UTF-8 encoded string. After the function returns, it is decremented to point to the beginning of the previous code point.
|
|
`start`: an iterator to the beginning of the sequence where the search for the beginning of a code point is performed. It is a safety measure to prevent passing the beginning of the string in the search for a UTF-8 lead octet.
|
|
Return value: the 32 bit representation of the previous code point.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
char* twochars = "\xe6\x97\xa5\xd1\x88";
|
|
unsigned char* w = twochars + 3;
|
|
int cp = prior (w, twochars);
|
|
assert (cp == 0x65e5);
|
|
assert (w == twochars);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This function has two purposes: one is two iterate backwards through a UTF-8 encoded string. Note that it is usually a better idea to iterate forward instead, since `utf8::next` is faster. The second purpose is to find a beginning of a UTF-8 sequence if we have a random position within a string. Note that in that case `utf8::prior` may not detect an invalid UTF-8 sequence in some scenarios: for instance if there are superfluous trail octets, it will just skip them.
|
|
|
|
`it` will typically point to the beginning of a code point, and `start` will point to the beginning of the string to ensure we don't go backwards too far. `it` is decreased until it points to a lead UTF-8 octet, and then the UTF-8 sequence beginning with that octet is decoded to a 32 bit representation and returned.
|
|
|
|
In case `start` is reached before a UTF-8 lead octet is hit, or if an invalid UTF-8 sequence is started by the lead octet, an `invalid_utf8` exception is thrown.
|
|
|
|
In case `start` equals `it`, a `not_enough_room` exception is thrown.

|
|

|
`octet_iterator`: an input iterator.
|
|
`distance_type`: an integral type convertible to `octet_iterator`'s difference type.
|
|
`it`: a reference to an iterator pointing to the beginning of an UTF-8 encoded code point. After the function returns, it is incremented to point to the nth following code point.
|
|
`n`: number of code points `it` should be advanced. A negative value means decrement.
|
|
`end`: limit of the UTF-8 sequence to be processed. If `n` is positive and `it` gets equal to `end` during the extraction of a code point, an `utf8::not_enough_room` exception is thrown. If `n` is negative and `it` reaches `end` while `it` points t a trail byte of a UTF-8 sequence, a `utf8::invalid_code_point` exception is thrown.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|

```cpp

|
```
|
|
|
|
`octet_iterator`: an input iterator.
|
|
`first`: an iterator to a beginning of a UTF-8 encoded code point.
|
|
`last`: an iterator to a "post-end" of the last UTF-8 encoded code point in the sequence we are trying to determine the length. It can be the beginning of a new code point, or not.
|
|
Return value the distance between the iterators, in code points.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
char* twochars = "\xe6\x97\xa5\xd1\x88";
|
|
size_t dist = utf8::distance(twochars, twochars + 5);
|
|
assert (dist == 2);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This function is used to find the length (in code points) of a UTF-8 encoded string. The reason it is called _distance_, rather than, say, _length_ is mainly because developers are used that _length_ is an O(1) function. Computing the length of an UTF-8 string is a linear operation, and it looked better to model it after `std::distance` algorithm.
|
|
|
|
In case of an invalid UTF-8 sequence, a `utf8::invalid_utf8` exception is thrown. If `last` does not point to the past-of-end of a UTF-8 sequence, a `utf8::not_enough_room` exception is thrown.

|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
string_view utf_invalid = "\xe6\x97\xa5\xd1\x88\xfa";
|
|
auto invalid = find_invalid(utf_invalid);
|
|
assert (invalid == 5);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This function is typically used to make sure a UTF-8 string is valid before processing it with other functions. It is especially important to call it if before doing any of the _unchecked_ operations on it.

##### bool is_valid(octet_iterator start, octet_iterator end)
|
|
|
|
Available in version 1.0 and later.
|
|
|
|
Checks whether a sequence of octets is a valid UTF-8 string.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
template <typename octet_iterator>
|
|
bool is_valid(octet_iterator start, octet_iterator end);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`octet_iterator`: an input iterator.
|
|
`start`: an iterator pointing to the beginning of the UTF-8 string to test for validity.
|
|
`end`: an iterator pointing to pass-the-end of the UTF-8 string to test for validity.
|
|
Return value: `true` if the sequence is a valid UTF-8 string; `false` if not.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
char utf_invalid[] = "\xe6\x97\xa5\xd1\x88\xfa";
|
|
bool bvalid = is_valid(utf_invalid, utf_invalid + 6);
|
|
assert (bvalid == false);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`is_valid` is a shorthand for `find_invalid(start, end) == end;`. You may want to use it to make sure that a byte sequence is a valid UTF-8 string without the need to know where it fails if it is not valid.

|
Replaces all invalid UTF-8 sequences within a string with a replacement marker.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|

output_iterator replace_invalid(octet_iterator start, octet_iterator end, output_iterator out, utfchar32_t replacement);
|
|
template <typename octet_iterator, typename output_iterator>
|
|
output_iterator replace_invalid(octet_iterator start, octet_iterator end, output_iterator out);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`octet_iterator`: an input iterator.
|
|
`output_iterator`: an output iterator.
|
|
`start`: an iterator pointing to the beginning of the UTF-8 string to look for invalid UTF-8 sequences.
|
|
`end`: an iterator pointing to pass-the-end of the UTF-8 string to look for invalid UTF-8 sequences.
|
|
`out`: An output iterator to the range where the result of replacement is stored.
|
|
`replacement`: A Unicode code point for the replacement marker. The version without this parameter assumes the value `0xfffd`
|
|
Return value: An iterator pointing to the place after the UTF-8 string with replaced invalid sequences.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
char invalid_sequence[] = "a\x80\xe0\xa0\xc0\xaf\xed\xa0\x80z";
|

|
|
assert (std::equal(replace_invalid_result.begin(), replace_invalid_result.end(), fixed_invalid_sequence));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`replace_invalid` does not perform in-place replacement of invalid sequences. Rather, it produces a copy of the original string with the invalid sequences replaced with a replacement marker. Therefore, `out` must not be in the `[start, end]` range.

|
|
##### Member functions
|
|
|
|
`iterator();` the default constructor; the underlying octet_iterator is constructed with its default constructor.
|
|
|
|
`explicit iterator (const octet_iterator& octet_it, const octet_iterator& range_start, const octet_iterator& range_end);` a constructor that initializes the underlying octet_iterator with octet_it and sets the range in which the iterator is considered valid.
|
|
|
|
`octet_iterator base () const;` returns the underlying octet_iterator.
|
|
|
|
`utfchar32_t operator * () const;` decodes the utf-8 sequence the underlying octet_iterator is pointing to and returns the code point.
|
|
|
|
`bool operator == (const iterator& rhs) const;` returns `true` if the two underlying iterators are equal.
|
|
|
|
`bool operator != (const iterator& rhs) const;` returns `true` if the two underlying iterators are not equal.
|
|
|
|
`iterator& operator ++ ();` the prefix increment - moves the iterator to the next UTF-8 encoded code point.
|
|
|
|
`iterator operator ++ (int);` the postfix increment - moves the iterator to the next UTF-8 encoded code point and returns the current one.
|
|
|
|
`iterator& operator -- ();` the prefix decrement - moves the iterator to the previous UTF-8 encoded code point.
|
|
|
|
`iterator operator -- (int);` the postfix decrement - moves the iterator to the previous UTF-8 encoded code point and returns the current one.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
char* threechars = "\xf0\x90\x8d\x86\xe6\x97\xa5\xd1\x88";
|
|
utf8::iterator<char*> it(threechars, threechars, threechars + 9);
|
|
utf8::iterator<char*> it2 = it;
|
|
assert (it2 == it);
|
|
assert (*it == 0x10346);
|
|
assert (*(++it) == 0x65e5);
|
|
assert ((*it++) == 0x65e5);
|
|
assert (*it == 0x0448);
|
|
assert (it != it2);
|
|
utf8::iterator<char*> endit (threechars + 9, threechars, threechars + 9);
|
|
assert (++it == endit);
|
|
assert (*(--it) == 0x0448);
|
|
assert ((*it--) == 0x0448);
|
|
assert (*it == 0x65e5);

|
|
assert (*it == 0x10346);

|
|
|
The purpose of `utf8::iterator` adapter is to enable easy iteration as well as the use of STL algorithms with UTF-8 encoded strings. Increment and decrement operators are implemented in terms of `utf8::next()` and `utf8::prior()` functions.
|
|
|
|
Note that `utf8::iterator` adapter is a checked iterator. It operates on the range specified in the constructor; any attempt to go out of that range will result in an exception. Even the comparison operators require both iterator object to be constructed against the same range - otherwise an exception is thrown. Typically, the range will be determined by sequence container functions `begin` and `end`, i.e.:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
std::string s = "example";
|
|
utf8::iterator i (s.begin(), s.begin(), s.end());
|
|
```

### Functions From utf8::unchecked Namespace
|
|
|
|
<!-- TOC --><a name="utf8uncheckedappend"></a>
|
|
#### utf8::unchecked::append
|
|
|
|
Available in version 1.0 and later.
|
|
|
|
Encodes a 32 bit code point as a UTF-8 sequence of octets and appends the sequence to a UTF-8 string.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
template <typename octet_iterator>
|
|
octet_iterator append(utfchar32_t cp, octet_iterator result);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`cp`: A 32 bit integer representing a code point to append to the sequence.
|
|
`result`: An output iterator to the place in the sequence where to append the code point.
|
|
Return value: An iterator pointing to the place after the newly appended sequence.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
unsigned char u[5] = {0,0,0,0,0};
|
|
unsigned char* end = unchecked::append(0x0448, u);
|
|
assert (u[0] == 0xd1 && u[1] == 0x88 && u[2] == 0 && u[3] == 0 && u[4] == 0);
|
|
```
|
|
|

Replaces all invalid UTF-8 sequences within a string with a replacement marker.

|
|
output_iterator replace_invalid(octet_iterator start, octet_iterator end, output_iterator out);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`octet_iterator`: an input iterator.
|
|
`output_iterator`: an output iterator.
|
|
`start`: an iterator pointing to the beginning of the UTF-8 string to look for invalid UTF-8 sequences.
|
|
`end`: an iterator pointing to pass-the-end of the UTF-8 string to look for invalid UTF-8 sequences.
|
|
`out`: An output iterator to the range where the result of replacement is stored.
|
|
`replacement`: A Unicode code point for the replacement marker. The version without this parameter assumes the value `0xfffd`
|
|
Return value: An iterator pointing to the place after the UTF-8 string with replaced invalid sequences.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
char invalid_sequence[] = "a\x80\xe0\xa0\xc0\xaf\xed\xa0\x80z";
|
|
vector<char> replace_invalid_result;

|
|
assert (std::equal(replace_invalid_result.begin(), replace_invalid_result.end(), fixed_invalid_sequence));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`replace_invalid` does not perform in-place replacement of invalid sequences. Rather, it produces a copy of the original string with the invalid sequences replaced with a replacement marker. Therefore, `out` must not be in the `[start, end]` range.
|
|
|
|
Unlike `utf8::replace_invalid`, this function does not verify validity of the replacement marker.

|
|
|
`iterator();` the default constructor; the underlying octet_iterator is constructed with its default constructor.
|
|
|
|
`explicit iterator (const octet_iterator& octet_it);` a constructor that initializes the underlying octet_iterator with `octet_it`.
|
|
|
|
`octet_iterator base () const;` returns the underlying octet_iterator.
|
|
|
|
`utfchar32_t operator * () const;` decodes the utf-8 sequence the underlying octet_iterator is pointing to and returns the code point.
|
|
|
|
`bool operator == (const iterator& rhs) const;` returns `true` if the two underlying iterators are equal.
|
|
|
|
`bool operator != (const iterator& rhs) const;` returns `true` if the two underlying iterators are not equal.
|
|
|
|
`iterator& operator ++ ();` the prefix increment - moves the iterator to the next UTF-8 encoded code point.
|
|
|
|
`iterator operator ++ (int);` the postfix increment - moves the iterator to the next UTF-8 encoded code point and returns the current one.
|
|
|
|
`iterator& operator -- ();` the prefix decrement - moves the iterator to the previous UTF-8 encoded code point.
|
|
|
|
`iterator operator -- (int);` the postfix decrement - moves the iterator to the previous UTF-8 encoded code point and returns the current one.
|
|
|
|
Example of use:
|
|
|
|
```cpp

|
assert (*(--un_it) == 0x0448);
|
|
assert ((*un_it--) == 0x0448);
|
|
assert (*un_it == 0x65e5);
|
|
assert (--un_it == utf8::unchecked::iterator<char*>(threechars));
|
|
assert (*un_it == 0x10346);

|
|
|
This is an unchecked version of `utf8::iterator`. It is faster in many cases, but offers no validity or range checks.
