pack-priv abstract Class UnicodeDecoder

Implements abstract java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decodeLoop.

Doc from java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.decodeLoop.

Decodes one or more bytes into one or more characters.

This method encapsulates the basic decoding loop, decoding as many bytes as possible until it either runs out of input, runs out of room in the output buffer, or encounters a decoding error. This method is invoked by the decode method, which handles result interpretation and error recovery.

The buffers are read from, and written to, starting at their current positions. At most in.remaining() bytes will be read, and at most out.remaining() characters will be written. The buffers' positions will be advanced to reflect the bytes read and the characters written, but their marks and limits will not be modified.

This method returns a CoderResult object to describe its reason for termination, in the same manner as the decode method. Most implementations of this method will handle decoding errors by returning an appropriate result object for interpretation by the decode method. An optimized implementation may instead examine the relevant error action and implement that action itself.

An implementation of this method may perform arbitrary lookahead by returning CoderResult#UNDERFLOW until it receives sufficient input.

Overrides java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.implReset.

Doc from java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder.implReset.

Resets this decoder, clearing any charset-specific internal state.

The default implementation of this method does nothing. This method should be overridden by decoders that maintain internal state.
