UTF-8 Conversion Functions
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Strings in the LDAP C SDK should be encoded in UTF-8 format.
|
|
However, most platforms do not provide APIs for converting to
|
|
this format. If they do, they are platform-specific.
|
|
|
|
As a result, most applications (knowingly or not) use local strings
|
|
with LDAP functions. This works fine for 7-bit ASCII characters,
|
|
but will fail with 8-bit European characters, Asian characters, etc.
|
|
|
|
We propose adding the following platform-independent conversion functions
|
|
to the OpenLDAP SDK. There are 4 functions for converting between UTF-8
|
|
and wide characters, and 4 functions for converting between UTF-8 and
|
|
multibyte characters.
|
|
|
|
For multibyte to UTF-8 conversions, charset translation is necessary.
|
|
While a full charset translator is not practical or appropriate for the
|
|
LDAP SDK, we can pass the translator function in as an argument.
|
|
A NULL for this argument will use the ANSI C functions mbtowc, mbstowcs,
|
|
wctomb, and wcstombs.
|
|
|
|
2. UTF-8 <--> Wide Character conversions
|
|
|
|
The following new conversion routines will be added, following the pattern of
|
|
the ANSI C conversion routines (mbtowc, mbstowcs, etc). These routines use
|
|
the wchar_t type. wchar_t is 2 bytes on some systems and 4 bytes on others.
|
|
However the advantage of using wchar_t is that all the standard wide character
|
|
string functions may be used on these strings: wcslen, wcscpy, etc.
|
|
|
|
int ldap_x_utf8_to_wc - Convert a single UTF-8 encoded character to a wide character.
|
|
int ldap_x_utf8s_to_wcs - Convert a UTF-8 string to a wide character string.
|
|
int ldap_x_wc_to_utf8 - Convert a single wide character to a UTF-8 sequence.
|
|
int ldap_x_wcs_to_utf8s - Convert a wide character string to a UTF-8 string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.1 ldap_x_utf8_to_wc - Convert a single UTF-8 encoded character to a wide character.
|
|
|
|
int ldap_x_utf8_to_wc ( wchar_t *wchar, const char *utf8char )
|
|
|
|
wchar (OUT) Points to a wide character code to receive the
|
|
converted character.
|
|
|
|
utf8char (IN) Address of the UTF8 sequence of bytes.
|
|
|
|
Return Value:
|
|
If successful, the function returns the length in
|
|
bytes of the UTF-8 input character.
|
|
|
|
If utf8char is NULL or points to an empty string, the
|
|
function returns 1 and a NULL is written to wchar.
|
|
|
|
If utf8char contains an invalid UTF-8 sequence -1 is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.2 ldap_x_utf8s_to_wcs - Convert a UTF-8 string to a wide character string.
|
|
|
|
int ldap_x_utf8s_to_wcs (wchar_t *wcstr, const char *utf8str, size_t count)
|
|
|
|
wcstr (OUT) Points to a wide char buffer to receive the
|
|
converted wide char string. The output string will be
|
|
null terminated if there is space for it in the
|
|
buffer.
|
|
|
|
utf8str (IN) Address of the null-terminated UTF-8 string to convert.
|
|
|
|
count (IN) The number of UTF-8 characters to convert, or
|
|
equivalently, the size of the output buffer in wide
|
|
characters.
|
|
|
|
Return Value:
|
|
If successful, the function returns the number of wide
|
|
characters written to wcstr, excluding the null termination
|
|
character, if any.
|
|
|
|
If wcstr is NULL, the function returns the number of wide
|
|
characters required to contain the converted string,
|
|
excluding the null termination character.
|
|
|
|
If an invalid UTF-8 sequence is encountered, the
|
|
function returns -1.
|
|
|
|
If the return value equals count, there was not enough space to fit the
|
|
string and the null terminator in the buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.3 ldap_x_wc_to_utf8 - Convert a single wide character to a UTF-8 sequence.
|
|
|
|
int ldap_x_wc_to_utf8 ( char *utf8char, wchar_t wchar, count )
|
|
|
|
utf8char (OUT) Points to a byte array to receive the converted UTF-8
|
|
string.
|
|
|
|
wchar (IN) The wide character to convert.
|
|
|
|
count (IN) The maximum number of bytes to write to the output
|
|
buffer. Normally set this to LDAP_MAX_UTF8_LEN, which
|
|
is defined as 3 or 6 depending on the size of wchar_t.
|
|
A partial character will not be written.
|
|
|
|
Return Value:
|
|
If successful, the function returns the length in bytes of
|
|
the converted UTF-8 output character.
|
|
|
|
If wchar is NULL, the function returns 1 and a NULL is
|
|
written to utf8char.
|
|
|
|
If wchar cannot be converted to a UTF-8 character, the
|
|
function returns -1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.4 int ldap_x_wcs_to_utf8s - Convert a wide character string to a UTF-8 string.
|
|
|
|
int ldap_x_wcs_to_utf8s (char *utf8str, const wchar_t *wcstr, size_t count)
|
|
|
|
utf8str (OUT) Points to a byte array to receive the converted
|
|
UTF-8 string. The output string will be null
|
|
terminated if there is space for it in the
|
|
buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
wcstr (IN) Address of the null-terminated wide char string to convert.
|
|
|
|
count (IN) The size of the output buffer in bytes.
|
|
|
|
Return Value:
|
|
If successful, the function returns the number of bytes
|
|
written to utf8str, excluding the null termination
|
|
character, if any.
|
|
|
|
If utf8str is NULL, the function returns the number of
|
|
bytes required to contain the converted string, excluding
|
|
the null termination character. The 'count' parameter is ignored.
|
|
|
|
If the function encounters a wide character that cannot
|
|
be mapped to a UTF-8 sequence, the function returns -1.
|
|
|
|
If the return value equals count, there was not enough space to fit
|
|
the string and the null terminator in the buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Multi-byte <--> UTF-8 Conversions
|
|
|
|
These functions convert the string in a two-step process, from multibyte
|
|
to Wide, then from Wide to UTF8, or vice versa. This conversion requires a
|
|
charset translation routine, which is passed in as an argument.
|
|

|
|
ldap_x_mbs_to_utf8s - Convert a multi-byte string to a UTF-8 string.

|
|
|
3.1 ldap_x_mb_to_utf8 - Convert a multi-byte character to a UTF-8 character.
|
|

int ldap_x_mb_to_utf8 ( char *utf8char, const char *mbchar, size_t mbsize, int (*f_mbtowc)(wchar_t *wchar, const char *mbchar, size_t count) )
|
|
|
|
utf8char (OUT) Points to a byte buffer to receive the converted
|
|
UTF-8 character. May be NULL. The output is not
|
|
null-terminated.
|
|
|
|
mbchar (IN) Address of a sequence of bytes forming a multibyte character.
|
|
|
|
mbsize (IN) The maximum number of bytes of the mbchar argument to
|
|
check. This should normally be MB_CUR_MAX.
|
|
|
|
f_mbtowc (IN) The function to use for converting a multibyte
|
|
character to a wide character. If NULL, the local
|
|
ANSI C routine mbtowc is used.
|
|
|
|
Return Value:
|
|
If successful, the function returns the length in bytes of
|
|
the UTF-8 output character.
|
|
|
|
If utf8char is NULL, count is ignored and the function
|
|
returns the number of bytes that would be written to the
|
|
output char.
|
|
|
|
If count is zero, 0 is returned and nothing is written to
|
|
utf8char.
|
|
|
|
If mbchar is NULL or points to an empty string, the
|
|
function returns 1 and a null byte is written to utf8char.
|
|
|
|
If mbchar contains an invalid multi-byte character, -1 is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2 ldap_x_mbs_to_utf8s - Convert a multi-byte string to a UTF-8 string.

|
|
|
|
utf8str (OUT) Points to a buffer to receive the converted UTF-8 string.
|
|
May be NULL.
|
|
|
|
mbchar (IN) Address of the null-terminated multi-byte input string.
|
|
|
|
count (IN) The size of the output buffer in bytes.
|
|
|
|
f_mbstowcs (IN) The function to use for converting a multibyte string
|
|
to a wide character string. If NULL, the local ANSI
|
|
C routine mbstowcs is used.
|
|
|
|
Return Value:
|
|
If successful, the function returns the length in
|
|
bytes of the UTF-8 output string, excluding the null
|
|
terminator, if present.
|
|
|
|
If utf8str is NULL, count is ignored and the function
|
|
returns the number of bytes required for the output string,
|
|
excluding the NULL.
|
|
|
|
If count is zero, 0 is returned and nothing is written to utf8str.
|
|
|
|
If mbstr is NULL or points to an empty string, the
|
|
function returns 1 and a null byte is written to utf8str.
|
|
|
|
If mbstr contains an invalid multi-byte character, -1 is returned.
|
|
|
|
If the returned value is equal to count, the entire null-terminated
|
|
string would not fit in the output buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.3 ldap_x_utf8_to_mb - Convert a UTF-8 character to a multi-byte character.
|
|
|
|

|
utf8char (IN) Address of the UTF-8 character sequence.
|
|
|
|
f_wctomb (IN) The function to use for converting a wide character
|

Return Value:
|
|
If successful, the function returns the length in
|
|
bytes of the multi-byte output character.

|
If successful, the function returns the number of bytes
|
|
written to mbstr, excluding the null termination
