+/**
+ * Wrapper class for UErrorCode, with conversion operators for direct use
+ * in ICU C and C++ APIs.
+ * Intended to be used as a base class, where a subclass overrides
+ * the handleFailure() function so that it throws an exception,
+ * does an assert(), logs an error, etc.
+ * This is not an abstract base class. This class can be used and instantiated
+ * by itself, although it will be more useful when subclassed.
+ *
+ * Features:
+ * - The constructor initializes the internal UErrorCode to U_ZERO_ERROR,
+ * removing one common source of errors.
+ * - Same use in C APIs taking a UErrorCode * (pointer)
+ * and C++ taking UErrorCode & (reference) via conversion operators.
+ * - Possible automatic checking for success when it goes out of scope.
+ *
+ * Note: For automatic checking for success in the destructor, a subclass
+ * must implement such logic in its own destructor because the base class
+ * destructor cannot call a subclass function (like handleFailure()).
+ * The ErrorCode base class destructor does nothing.
+ *
+ * Note also: While it is possible for a destructor to throw an exception,
+ * it is generally unsafe to do so. This means that in a subclass the destructor
+ * and the handleFailure() function may need to take different actions.
+ *
+ * Sample code:
+ * \code
+ * class IcuErrorCode: public icu::ErrorCode {
+ * public:
+ * virtual ~IcuErrorCode() { // should be defined in .cpp as "key function"
+ * // Safe because our handleFailure() does not throw exceptions.
+ * if(isFailure()) { handleFailure(); }
+ * }
+ * protected:
+ * virtual void handleFailure() const {
+ * log_failure(u_errorName(errorCode));
+ * exit(errorCode);
+ * }
+ * };
+ * IcuErrorCode error_code;
+ * UConverter *cnv = ucnv_open("Shift-JIS", error_code);
+ * length = ucnv_fromUChars(dest, capacity, src, length, error_code);
+ * ucnv_close(cnv);
+ * // IcuErrorCode destructor checks for success.
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * @stable ICU 4.2
