The International Components for Unicode or ICU is an external library originally developed by IBM, available at http://www.icu-project.org/. OOo uses the C libraries ICU4C (there is also a set of Java libraries ICU4J available) for glyph layout in CTL languages, Unicode algorithms like collation, break iterators for word boundaries, and calendar systems.

ICU is located in module icu of the source code directories in the OOo build tree.

There's a list of patches applied to the version currently in use.


Versions used

Modules and source code using ICU

Most functionality is encapsulated in the i18npool module and should be accessed using the ::com::sun::star::i18n::* UNO API only, just little source code uses ICU functionality directly for glyph layout, where necessary. Please do not add further dependencies, if possible.

Instead of having to rebuild the entire suite you may get away with a partial rebuild if you carefully touch some files and remove Windows' *.def files in affected modules.

Commands to obtain the lists

The lists below may be obtained by invoking the following commands in the $SRC_ROOT directory:

# Look for ICU...LIB in makefiles to get modules
# Note that the Solaris grep doesn't know option -H, use GNU grep!
find -L $SRC_ROOT -name makefile.mk -exec grep -H 'ICU[A-Z]*LIB' {} \; | sort -u

# Using a global GNU ID-utils database, look for include unicode/*.{h,hpp} and
# layout/*.{h,hpp} in source files.
lid --separator newline --result=grep --regexp 'unicode|layout' | egrep -v '(/build/icu/|com/sun/star/)' | egrep ':[0-9]+:[[:space:]]*#[[:space:]]*include[[:space:]]+[<"](unicode|layout)/[^/]+\.(h|hpp)[">]' | sort -u

For how to create a global GNU ID-utils database see mkid-script, mkid-script $SRC_ROOT/'*'

The lists

Documentation caution.png The following lists of modules and source code using ICU directly may be outdated and need to be refreshed!

Dependent source files

As of milestone OOO320_m4 the dependent source files that have to be touched and built when upgrading to a newer ICU version, apart from the entire module i18npool and the scp2 files that depend on icuversion.mk, were as follows.

You may touch these files, assuming this list is in ~/devbase/icu/these_use_icu.txt, with the following command:

Modules linking against ICU[A-Z]*LIB

As of milestone OOO320_m4 the modules linking against ICU were as follows.

Documentation note.png For Windows, you need to remove those painful *.def files in these modules, or you will get unresolved externals!
rm {binfilter,desktop,forms,i18npool,lingucomponent,linguistic,svtools,svx,sw,vcl}/wntmsci12*/misc/*.def
Documentation note.png Due to the nature of how Windows searches for DLLs, executable's path first, if upgrading to a newer ICU version or building touched files when having resynced the CWS to a newer milestone it is necessary to
copy solver\wntmsci12.pro\bin\regcomp.exe binfilter\wntmsci12.pro\bin

or otherwise the build will break in binfilter/util!
