--  This generic package provides utility routines for converting from an
--  encoded string to a corresponding Wide_String or Wide_Wide_String value
--  using a specified encoding convention, which is supplied as the generic
--  parameter. UTF-8 is handled especially efficiently, and if the encoding
--  method is known at compile time to be WCEM_UTF8, then the instantiation
--  is specialized to handle only the UTF-8 case and exclude code for the
--  other encoding methods. The package also provides positioning routines
--  for skipping encoded characters in either direction, and for validating
--  strings for correct encodings.

--  Note: this package is only about decoding sequences of 8-bit characters
--  into corresponding 16-bit Wide_String or 32-bit Wide_Wide_String values.
--  It knows nothing at all about the character encodings being used for the
--  resulting Wide_Character and Wide_Wide_Character values. Most often this
--  will be Unicode/ISO-10646 as specified by the Ada RM, but this package
--  does not make any assumptions about the character coding. See also the
--  packages Ada.Wide_[Wide_]Characters.Unicode for unicode specific functions.

--  Note on the use of brackets encoding (WCEM_Brackets). The brackets encoding
--  method is ambiguous in the context of this package, since there is no way
--  to tell if ["1234"] is eight unencoded characters or one encoded character.
--  In the context of Ada sources, any sequence starting [" must be the start
--  of an encoding (since that sequence is not valid in Ada source otherwise).
--  The routines in this package use the same approach. If the input string
--  contains the sequence [" then this is assumed to be the start of a brackets
--  encoding sequence, and if it does not match the syntax, an error is raised.
--  In the case of the Prev functions, a sequence ending with "] is assumed to
--  be a valid brackets sequence, and an error is raised if it is not.

   --  return, Length is set to the number of characters stored in Result. The
   --  caller must ensure that Result is long enough (an easy choice is to set
   --  the length equal to the S'Length, since decoding can never increase the
   --  string length). If the length of Result is insufficient Constraint_Error

   --  This is a lower level procedure that decodes a single character using

   --  encoding sequence. Constraint_Error will be raised if the input has
   --  has a character that cannot be represented using the given encoding,
   --  or if Ptr is outside the bounds of the Input string.

   --  This procedure examines the input string starting at Input (Ptr), and

   --  Ptr points to the next encoded character. Constraint_Error is raised if
   --  an invalid encoding is encountered, or the end of the string is reached
   --  or if Ptr is less than String'First on entry, or if the character
   --  skipped is not a valid Wide_Character code. This call may be more
   --  efficient than calling Decode_Wide_Character and discarding the result.

   procedure Prev_Wide_Character (Input : String; Ptr : in out Natural);
   --  This procedure is similar to Next_Encoded_Character except that it moves
   --  backwards in the string, so that on return, Ptr is set to point to the
   --  previous encoded character. Constraint_Error is raised if the start of
   --  the string is encountered. It is valid for Ptr to be one past the end
   --  of the string for this call (in which case on return it will point to
   --  the last encoded character).
   --
   --  Note: it is not generally possible to do this function efficiently with
   --  all encodings, the current implementation is only efficient for the case
   --  of UTF-8 (Encoding_Method = WCEM_UTF8) and Brackets (Encoding_Method =
   --  WCEM_Brackets). For all other encodings, we work by starting at the
   --  beginning of the string and moving forward till Ptr is reached, which
   --  is correct but slow.

   procedure Next_Wide_Wide_Character (Input : String; Ptr : in out Natural);
   --  Similar to Next_Wide_Character except that codes skipped must be valid
   --  Wide_Wide_Character codes.

   procedure Prev_Wide_Wide_Character (Input : String; Ptr : in out Natural);
   --  Similar to Prev_Wide_Character except that codes skipped must be valid
   --  Wide_Wide_Character codes.
