If it is not set, the preprocessor symbol * "DEFAULT_ICU_PLUGINS" will be checked for a default value.</p> * * <p>Within the above-named directory, the file "icuplugins##.txt" will be * opened, if present, where ## is the major+minor number of the currently * running ICU (such as, 44 for ICU 4.4, thus icuplugins44.txt)</p> * * <p>The configuration file has this format:</p> * * <ul> * <li>Hash (#) begins a comment line</li> * * <li>Non-comment lines have two or three components: * LIBRARYNAME ENTRYPOINT [ CONFIGURATION .. ]</li> * * <li>Tabs or spaces separate the three items.</li> * * <li>LIBRARYNAME is the name of a shared library, either a short name if * it is on the loader path, or a full pathname.</li> * * <li>ENTRYPOINT is the short (undecorated) symbol name of the plugin's * entrypoint, as above.</li> * * <li>CONFIGURATION is the entire rest of the line . It's passed as-is to * the plugin.</li> * </ul> * * <p>An example configuration file is, in its entirety:</p> * * \code * # this is icuplugins44.txt * testplug.dll myPlugin hello=world * \endcode * <p>Plugins are categorized as "high" or "low" level. Low level are those * which must be run BEFORE high level plugins, and before any operations * which cause ICU to be 'initialized'. If a plugin is low level but * causes ICU to allocate memory or become initialized, that plugin is said * to cause a 'level change'. </p> * * <p>At load time, ICU first queries all plugins to determine their level, * then loads all 'low' plugins first, and then loads all 'high' plugins. * Plugins are otherwise loaded in the order listed in the configuration file.</p> * * <h3>Implementing a Plugin</h3> * \code * U_CAPI UPlugTokenReturn U_EXPORT2 * myPlugin (UPlugData *plug, UPlugReason reason, UErrorCode *status) { * if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_QUERY) { * uplug_setPlugName(plug, "Simple Plugin"); * uplug_setPlugLevel(plug, UPLUG_LEVEL_HIGH); * } else if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_LOAD) { * ... Set up some ICU things here.... * } else if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_UNLOAD) { * ... unload, clean up ... * } * return UPLUG_TOKEN; * } * \endcode * * <p>The UPlugData* is an opaque pointer to the plugin-specific data, and is * used in all other API calls.</p> * * <p>The API contract is:</p> * <ol><li>The plugin MUST always return UPLUG_TOKEN as a return value- to * indicate that it is a valid plugin.</li> * * <li>When the 'reason' parameter is set to UPLUG_REASON_QUERY, the * plugin MUST call uplug_setPlugLevel() to indicate whether it is a high * level or low level plugin.</li> * * <li>When the 'reason' parameter is UPLUG_REASON_QUERY, the plugin * SHOULD call uplug_setPlugName to indicate a human readable plugin name.</li></ol> * * * \internal ICU 4.4 Technology Preview */ #ifndef ICUPLUG_H #define ICUPLUG_H #include "unicode/utypes.h" #if UCONFIG_ENABLE_PLUGINS || defined(U_IN_DOXYGEN) /* === Basic types === */ #ifndef U_HIDE_INTERNAL_API struct UPlugData; /** * @{ * Typedef for opaque structure passed to/from a plugin. * Use the APIs to access it. * @internal ICU 4.4 Technology Preview */ typedef struct UPlugData UPlugData; /** @} */ /** * Random Token to identify a valid ICU plugin.
