/usr/include/unicode/localebuilder.h (11502B)
LocaleBuilder is used to build instances of Locale
* from values configured by the setters. Unlike the Locale
* constructors, the LocaleBuilder checks if a value configured by a
* setter satisfies the syntax requirements defined by the Locale
* class. A Locale object created by a LocaleBuilder is
* well-formed and can be transformed to a well-formed IETF BCP 47 language tag
* without losing information.
*
* The following example shows how to create a Locale object
* with the LocaleBuilder.
*
*
* UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* Locale aLocale = LocaleBuilder()
* .setLanguage("sr")
* .setScript("Latn")
* .setRegion("RS")
* .build(status);
* if (U_SUCCESS(status)) {
* // ...
* }
*
*
*
* LocaleBuilders can be reused; clear() resets all
* fields to their default values.
*
*
LocaleBuilder tracks errors in an internal UErrorCode. For all setters,
* except setLanguageTag and setLocale, LocaleBuilder will return immediately
* if the internal UErrorCode is in error state.
* To reset internal state and error code, call clear method.
* The setLanguageTag and setLocale method will first clear the internal
* UErrorCode, then track the error of the validation of the input parameter
* into the internal UErrorCode.
