* \brief C API: Bidi algorithm
*
* Bidi algorithm for ICU
*
* This is an implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
* The algorithm is defined in the
* Unicode Standard Annex #9.
*
* Note: Libraries that perform a bidirectional algorithm and
* reorder strings accordingly are sometimes called "Storage Layout Engines".
* ICU's Bidi and shaping (u_shapeArabic()) APIs can be used at the core of such
* "Storage Layout Engines".
*
*
General remarks about the API:
*
* In functions with an error code parameter,
* the pErrorCode pointer must be valid
* and the value that it points to must not indicate a failure before
* the function call. Otherwise, the function returns immediately.
* After the function call, the value indicates success or failure.
*
* The "limit" of a sequence of characters is the position just after their
* last character, i.e., one more than that position.
*
* Some of the API functions provide access to "runs".
* Such a "run" is defined as a sequence of characters
* that are at the same embedding level
* after performing the Bidi algorithm.
*

Sample code for the ICU Bidi API
*
* Rendering a paragraph with the ICU Bidi API
*
* This is (hypothetical) sample code that illustrates
* how the ICU Bidi API could be used to render a paragraph of text.
* Rendering code depends highly on the graphics system,
* therefore this sample code must make a lot of assumptions,
* which may or may not match any existing graphics system's properties.
*
* The basic assumptions are:
*
* - Rendering is done from left to right on a horizontal line.
* - A run of single-style, unidirectional text can be rendered at once.
* - Such a run of text is passed to the graphics system with
* characters (code units) in logical order.
* - The line-breaking algorithm is very complicated
* and Locale-dependent -
* and therefore its implementation omitted from this sample code.

*
* With the reordering mode set to a value other than

*
* Some legacy systems store text in visual order, and for operations

* into logical order. This is effectively the inverse algorithm of the
* described Bidi algorithm. Note that there is no standard algorithm for
* this "inverse Bidi", so a number of variants are implemented here.
*
* In other cases, it may be desirable to emulate some variant of the
* Logical to Visual algorithm (e.g. one used in MS Windows), or perform a
* Logical to Logical transformation.
*
*
* - When the reordering mode is set to
#UBIDI_REORDER_DEFAULT,
* the standard Bidi Logical to Visual algorithm is applied.
*
* - When the reordering mode is set to
*
#UBIDI_REORDER_NUMBERS_SPECIAL,
* the algorithm used to perform Bidi transformations when calling
* ubidi_setPara should approximate the algorithm used in
* Microsoft Windows XP rather than strictly conform to the Unicode Bidi
* algorithm.
*
* The differences between the basic algorithm and the algorithm addressed
* by this option are as follows:
*
* - Within text at an even embedding level, the sequence "123AB"
* (where AB represent R or AL letters) is transformed to "123BA" by the
* Unicode algorithm and to "BA123" by the Windows algorithm.
* - Arabic-Indic numbers (AN) are handled by the Windows algorithm just
* like regular numbers (EN).
*
*
* - When the reordering mode is set to
*
#UBIDI_REORDER_GROUP_NUMBERS_WITH_R,
* numbers located between LTR text and RTL text are associated with the RTL
* text. For instance, an LTR paragraph with content "abc 123 DEF" (where
* upper case letters represent RTL characters) will be transformed to
* "abc FED 123" (and not "abc 123 FED"), "DEF 123 abc" will be transformed
* to "123 FED abc" and "123 FED abc" will be transformed to "DEF 123 abc".
* This makes the algorithm reversible and makes it useful when round trip
* (from visual to logical and back to visual) must be achieved without
* adding LRM characters. However, this is a variation from the standard
* Unicode Bidi algorithm.
* The source text should not contain Bidi control characters other than LRM
* or RLM.
*
* - When the reordering mode is set to
*
#UBIDI_REORDER_RUNS_ONLY,
* a "Logical to Logical" transformation must be performed:
*
* - If the default text level of the source text (argument
paraLevel
* in ubidi_setPara) is even, the source text will be handled as
* LTR logical text and will be transformed to the RTL logical text which has
* the same LTR visual display.
* - If the default level of the source text is odd, the source text
* will be handled as RTL logical text and will be transformed to the
* LTR logical text which has the same LTR visual display.
*
* This mode may be needed when logical text which is basically Arabic or
* Hebrew, with possible included numbers or phrases in English, has to be
* displayed as if it had an even embedding level (this can happen if the
* displaying application treats all text as if it was basically LTR).
*
* This mode may also be needed in the reverse case, when logical text which is
* basically English, with possible included phrases in Arabic or Hebrew, has to
* be displayed as if it had an odd embedding level.
*
* Both cases could be handled by adding LRE or RLE at the head of the text,
* if the display subsystem supports these formatting controls. If it does not,
* the problem may be handled by transforming the source text in this mode
* before displaying it, so that it will be displayed properly.
* The source text should not contain Bidi control characters other than LRM
* or RLM.
*
* - When the reordering mode is set to
*
#UBIDI_REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L, an "inverse Bidi" algorithm
* is applied.
* Runs of text with numeric characters will be treated like LTR letters and
* may need to be surrounded with LRM characters when they are written in
* reordered sequence (the option #UBIDI_INSERT_LRM_FOR_NUMERIC can
* be used with function ubidi_writeReordered to this end. This
* mode is equivalent to calling ubidi_setInverse() with
* argument isInverse set to true.
*
* - When the reordering mode is set to
*
#UBIDI_REORDER_INVERSE_LIKE_DIRECT, the "direct" Logical to Visual
* Bidi algorithm is used as an approximation of an "inverse Bidi" algorithm.
* This mode is similar to mode #UBIDI_REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L
* but is closer to the regular Bidi algorithm.
*
* For example, an LTR paragraph with the content "FED 123 456 CBA" (where
* upper case represents RTL characters) will be transformed to
* "ABC 456 123 DEF", as opposed to "DEF 123 456 ABC"
* with mode UBIDI_REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L.
* When used in conjunction with option
* #UBIDI_OPTION_INSERT_MARKS, this mode generally
* adds Bidi marks to the output significantly more sparingly than mode
* #UBIDI_REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L with option
* #UBIDI_INSERT_LRM_FOR_NUMERIC in calls to
* ubidi_writeReordered.
*
* - When the reordering mode is set to
*
#UBIDI_REORDER_INVERSE_FOR_NUMBERS_SPECIAL, the Logical to Visual
* Bidi algorithm used in Windows XP is used as an approximation of an "inverse Bidi" algorithm.
*
* For example, an LTR paragraph with the content "abc FED123" (where
* upper case represents RTL characters) will be transformed to "abc 123DEF."
*
*
* In all the reordering modes specifying an "inverse Bidi" algorithm
* (i.e. those with a name starting with UBIDI_REORDER_INVERSE),
* output runs should be retrieved using
* ubidi_getVisualRun(), and the output text with
* ubidi_writeReordered(). The caller should keep in mind that in
* "inverse Bidi" modes the input is actually visually ordered text and
* reordered output returned by ubidi_getVisualRun() or
* ubidi_writeReordered() are actually runs or character string
* of logically ordered output.
* For all the "inverse Bidi" modes, the source text should not contain
* Bidi control characters other than LRM or RLM.
*
* Note that option #UBIDI_OUTPUT_REVERSE of
* ubidi_writeReordered has no useful meaning and should not be
* used in conjunction with any value of the reordering mode specifying
* "inverse Bidi" or with value UBIDI_REORDER_RUNS_ONLY.

* If a call to ubidi_setPara() specifies UBIDI_DEFAULT_LTR or

* Calling ubidi_setContext() with specification of an epilogue will change

*
* Note 1: if ubidi_setContext is called repeatedly without

* Perform the Unicode Bidi algorithm. It is defined in the
* Unicode Standard Annex #9,
* version 13,
* also described in The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0 .
*
* This function takes a piece of plain text containing one or more paragraphs,
* with or without externally specified embedding levels from styled
* text and computes the left-right-directionality of each character.
*
* If the entire text is all of the same directionality, then
* the function may not perform all the steps described by the algorithm,
* i.e., some levels may not be the same as if all steps were performed.
* This is not relevant for unidirectional text.
* For example, in pure LTR text with numbers the numbers would get
* a resolved level of 2 higher than the surrounding text according to
* the algorithm. This implementation may set all resolved levels to
* the same value in such a case.
*
* The text can be composed of multiple paragraphs. Occurrence of a block
* separator in the text terminates a paragraph, and whatever comes next starts
* a new paragraph. The exception to this rule is when a Carriage Return (CR)
* is followed by a Line Feed (LF). Both CR and LF are block separators, but
* in that case, the pair of characters is considered as terminating the
* preceding paragraph, and a new paragraph will be started by a character
* coming after the LF.
*
* @param pBiDi A UBiDi object allocated with ubidi_open()
* which will be set to contain the reordering information,
* especially the resolved levels for all the characters in text.
*
* @param text is a pointer to the text that the Bidi algorithm will be performed on.
* This pointer is stored in the UBiDi object and can be retrieved
* with ubidi_getText().
* Note: the text must be (at least) length long.
*
* @param length is the length of the text; if length==-1 then
* the text must be zero-terminated.
*
* @param paraLevel specifies the default level for the text;
* it is typically 0 (LTR) or 1 (RTL).
* If the function shall determine the paragraph level from the text,
* then paraLevel can be set to
* either #UBIDI_DEFAULT_LTR
* or #UBIDI_DEFAULT_RTL; if the text contains multiple
* paragraphs, the paragraph level shall be determined separately for
* each paragraph; if a paragraph does not include any strongly typed
* character, then the desired default is used (0 for LTR or 1 for RTL).
* Any other value between 0 and #UBIDI_MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL
* is also valid, with odd levels indicating RTL.
*
* @param embeddingLevels (in) may be used to preset the embedding and override levels,
* ignoring characters like LRE and PDF in the text.
* A level overrides the directional property of its corresponding
* (same index) character if the level has the
* #UBIDI_LEVEL_OVERRIDE bit set.
* Aside from that bit, it must be
* paraLevel<=embeddingLevels[]<=UBIDI_MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL,
* except that level 0 is always allowed.
* Level 0 for a paragraph separator prevents reordering of paragraphs;
* this only works reliably if #UBIDI_LEVEL_OVERRIDE
* is also set for paragraph separators.
* Level 0 for other characters is treated as a wildcard
* and is lifted up to the resolved level of the surrounding paragraph.
* Caution: A copy of this pointer, not of the levels,
* will be stored in the UBiDi object;
* the embeddingLevels array must not be
* deallocated before the UBiDi structure is destroyed or reused,
* and the embeddingLevels
* should not be modified to avoid unexpected results on subsequent Bidi operations.
* However, the ubidi_setPara() and
* ubidi_setLine() functions may modify some or all of the levels.
* After the UBiDi object is reused or destroyed, the caller
* must take care of the deallocation of the embeddingLevels array.
* Note: the embeddingLevels array must be
* at least length long.

* value is not necessary.
