Class Transliterator.Position

  • Enclosing class:
    Transliterator

    public static class Transliterator.Position
    extends java.lang.Object
    Position structure for incremental transliteration. This data structure defines two substrings of the text being transliterated. The first region, [contextStart, contextLimit), defines what characters the transliterator will read as context. The second region, [start, limit), defines what characters will actually be transliterated. The second region should be a subset of the first.

    After a transliteration operation, some of the indices in this structure will be modified. See the field descriptions for details.

    contextStart <= start <= limit <= contextLimit

    Note: All index values in this structure must be at code point boundaries. That is, none of them may occur between two code units of a surrogate pair. If any index does split a surrogate pair, results are unspecified.

    • Field Detail

      • contextStart

        public int contextStart
        Beginning index, inclusive, of the context to be considered for a transliteration operation. The transliterator will ignore anything before this index. INPUT/OUTPUT parameter: This parameter is updated by a transliteration operation to reflect the maximum amount of antecontext needed by a transliterator.
      • contextLimit

        public int contextLimit
        Ending index, exclusive, of the context to be considered for a transliteration operation. The transliterator will ignore anything at or after this index. INPUT/OUTPUT parameter: This parameter is updated to reflect changes in the length of the text, but points to the same logical position in the text.
      • start

        public int start
        Beginning index, inclusive, of the text to be transliteratd. INPUT/OUTPUT parameter: This parameter is advanced past characters that have already been transliterated by a transliteration operation.
      • limit

        public int limit
        Ending index, exclusive, of the text to be transliteratd. INPUT/OUTPUT parameter: This parameter is updated to reflect changes in the length of the text, but points to the same logical position in the text.

        a string representation of the object.
      • validate

        public final void validate​(int length)
        Check all bounds. If they are invalid, throw an exception.
        Parameters:
