## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ ~UnicodeFunctor()

virtual icu::UnicodeFunctor::~UnicodeFunctor | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Destructor.

Stable:
  ICU 2.4

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ clone()

virtual UnicodeFunctor* icu::UnicodeFunctor::clone | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Return a copy of this object.

All UnicodeFunctor objects have to support cloning in order to allow classes using UnicodeFunctor to implement cloning.

Stable:
  ICU 2.4

Implemented in icu::UnicodeFilter, and icu::UnicodeSet.

## ◆ getDynamicClassID()

virtual UClassID icu::UnicodeFunctor::getDynamicClassID | ( |  | ) | const
| overridepure virtual

Returns a unique class ID polymorphically.

This method is to implement a simple version of RTTI, since not all C++ compilers support genuine RTTI. Polymorphic operator==() and clone() methods call this method.

Concrete subclasses of UnicodeFunctor should use the macro UOBJECT_DEFINE_RTTI_IMPLEMENTATION from uobject.h to provide definitions getStaticClassID and getDynamicClassID.

Returns
  The class ID for this object. All objects of a given class have the same class ID. Objects of other classes have different class IDs.

Stable:
  ICU 2.4

Reimplemented from icu::UObject.

Implemented in icu::UnicodeSet.

## ◆ getStaticClassID()

static UClassID icu::UnicodeFunctor::getStaticClassID | ( |  | ) |
| static

Return the class ID for this class.

This is useful only for comparing to a return value from getDynamicClassID().

Returns
  The class ID for all objects of this class.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

## ◆ setData()

virtual void icu::UnicodeFunctor::setData | ( | const TransliterationRuleData * |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Set the data object associated with this functor.

The data object provides context for functor-to-standin mapping. This method is required when assigning a functor to a different data object. This function MAY GO AWAY later if the architecture is changed to pass data object pointers through the API.

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 2.1

Implemented in icu::UnicodeFilter.

## ◆ toMatcher()

virtual UnicodeMatcher* icu::UnicodeFunctor::toMatcher | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Cast 'this' to a UnicodeMatcher* pointer and return the pointer, or null if this is not a UnicodeMatcher*.

Subclasses that mix in UnicodeMatcher as a base class must override this. This protocol is required because a pointer to a UnicodeFunctor cannot be cast to a pointer to a UnicodeMatcher, since UnicodeMatcher is a mixin that does not derive from UnicodeFunctor.

Stable:
  ICU 2.4

Reimplemented in icu::UnicodeFilter.

## ◆ toReplacer()

virtual UnicodeReplacer* icu::UnicodeFunctor::toReplacer | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Cast 'this' to a UnicodeReplacer* pointer and return the pointer, or null if this is not a UnicodeReplacer*.

Subclasses that mix in UnicodeReplacer as a base class must override this. This protocol is required because a pointer to a UnicodeFunctor cannot be cast to a pointer to a UnicodeReplacer, since UnicodeReplacer is a mixin that does not derive from UnicodeFunctor.

Stable:
  ICU 2.4
