Re: ICU4C API Addition Proposal: ucol_openFromBinary

Can you make this API work like the BreakIterator?

    RuleBasedBreakIterator(UDataMemory* image, UErrorCode &status);


Also why is length needed?  Shouldn't the binary image already have the 
length within the structure?

ICU4C API Addition Proposal: ucol_openFromBinary






Expires: 10/15/2004


I am proposing to add the following API:

UCollator *ucol_openBinary(const uint8_t *bin, int32_t length, const 
UCollator 
*base, UErrorCode *pErrorCode);

This API would initialize a collator from a collator image bin. If length 
is 
less than zero, the API will preflight.

base is the collator that is used for fallback if a value is not found in 
the 
collator. It is usually UCA, but can be any other collator. If this value 
is 
NULL, no fallback will occur.

Status returnes error codes, if any.

Thank you!

Regards,
v.
