<div class="textblock"><p>Base class for objects to which Unicode characters and strings can be appended. </p>
<p>Combines elements of Java <a class="el" href="classAppendable.html" title="Base class for objects to which Unicode characters and strings can be appended.">Appendable</a> and ICU4C <a class="el" href="classByteSink.html" title="A ByteSink can be filled with bytes.">ByteSink</a>.</p>
<p>This class can be used in APIs where it does not matter whether the actual destination is a <a class="el" href="classUnicodeString.html" title="UnicodeString is a string class that stores Unicode characters directly and provides similar function...">UnicodeString</a>, a UChar[] array, a <a class="el" href="classUnicodeSet.html" title="A mutable set of Unicode characters and multicharacter strings.">UnicodeSet</a>, or any other object that receives and processes characters and/or strings.</p>
<p>Implementation classes must implement at least <a class="el" href="classAppendable.html#a5e9851386b9f3b63e750d4d31149f023" title="Appends a 16-bit code unit.">appendCodeUnit(UChar)</a>. The base class provides default implementations for the other methods.</p>
<p>The methods do not take UErrorCode parameters. If an error occurs (e.g., out-of-memory), in addition to returning FALSE from failing operations, the implementation must prevent unexpected behavior (e.g., crashes) from further calls and should make the error condition available separately (e.g., store a UErrorCode, make/keep a <a class="el" href="classUnicodeString.html" title="UnicodeString is a string class that stores Unicode characters directly and provides similar function...">UnicodeString</a> bogus). </p>

<p>Guarantees *resultCapacity&gt;=minCapacity. May return a pointer to the caller-owned scratch buffer which must have scratchCapacity&gt;=minCapacity. The returned buffer is only valid until the next operation on this <a class="el" href="classAppendable.html" title="Base class for objects to which Unicode characters and strings can be appended.">Appendable</a>.</p>
<p>After writing at most *resultCapacity UChars, call <a class="el" href="classAppendable.html#a5edf68de9d036d3bcf1cac6d3131c933" title="Appends a string.">appendString()</a> with the pointer returned from this function and the number of UChars written. Many <a class="el" href="classAppendable.html#a5edf68de9d036d3bcf1cac6d3131c933" title="Appends a string.">appendString()</a> implementations will avoid copying UChars if this function returned an internal buffer.</p>
<p>Partial usage example: </p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line">int32_t capacity;</div>
<div class="line"><a class="code" href="umachine_8h.html#a6bb9fad572d65b305324ef288165e2ac" title="Define UChar to be char16_t, if available, or wchar_t if that is 16 bits wide; always assumed to be u...">UChar</a>* buffer = app.getAppendBuffer(..., &amp;capacity);</div>
<div class="line">... Write n UChars into buffer, with n &lt;= capacity.</div>
<div class="line">app.appendString(buffer, n);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p> In many implementations, that call to append will avoid copying UChars.</p>
<p>If the <a class="el" href="classAppendable.html" title="Base class for objects to which Unicode characters and strings can be appended.">Appendable</a> allocates or reallocates an internal buffer, it should use the desiredCapacityHint if appropriate. If a caller cannot provide a reasonable guess at the desired capacity, it should pass desiredCapacityHint=0.</p>
<p>If a non-scratch buffer is returned, the caller may only pass a prefix to it to <a class="el" href="classAppendable.html#a5edf68de9d036d3bcf1cac6d3131c933" title="Appends a string.">appendString()</a>. That is, it is not correct to pass an interior pointer to <a class="el" href="classAppendable.html#a5edf68de9d036d3bcf1cac6d3131c933" title="Appends a string.">appendString()</a>.</p>
<p>The default implementation always returns the scratch buffer.</p>
