Static Methods

static func encode(_:inout:) Required

Encode a UnicodeScalar as a series of CodeUnits by put'ing each CodeUnit to output.

Declaration

Instance Methods

mutating func decode(inout:) Required

Start or continue decoding a UTF sequence.

In order to decode a code unit sequence completely, this function should be called repeatedly until it returns UnicodeDecodingResult.EmptyInput. Checking that the generator was exhausted is not sufficient. The decoder can have an internal buffer that is pre-filled with data from the input generator.

Because of buffering, it is impossible to find the corresponing position in the generator for a given returned UnicodeScalar or an error.

next: a generator of code units to be decoded.
