 * to 4 * sizeof(pointer) (or 3 * sizeof(pointer) for P128 data models),

/**
 * UnicodeString is a string class that stores Unicode characters directly and provides
 * similar functionality as the Java String and StringBuffer/StringBuilder classes.
 * It is a concrete implementation of the abstract class Replaceable (for transliteration).
 *
 * A UnicodeString may also "alias" an external array of characters
 * (that is, point to it, rather than own the array)
 * whose lifetime must then at least match the lifetime of the aliasing object.
 * This aliasing may be preserved when returning a UnicodeString by value,
 * depending on the compiler and the function implementation,
 * via Return Value Optimization (RVO) or the move assignment operator.
 * (However, the copy assignment operator does not preserve aliasing.)
 * For details see the description of storage models at the end of the class API docs
 * and in the User Guide chapter linked from there.
 *
 * The UnicodeString class is not suitable for subclassing.
 *
 * <p>For an overview of Unicode strings in C and C++ see the
 * <a href="http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings#TOC-Strings-in-C-C-">User Guide Strings chapter</a>.</p>
 *
 * <p>In ICU, a Unicode string consists of 16-bit Unicode <em>code units</em>.
 * A Unicode character may be stored with either one code unit
 * (the most common case) or with a matched pair of special code units
 * ("surrogates"). The data type for code units is UChar.
 * For single-character handling, a Unicode character code <em>point</em> is a value
 * in the range 0..0x10ffff. ICU uses the UChar32 type for code points.</p>
 *
 * <p>Indexes and offsets into and lengths of strings always count code units, not code points.
 * This is the same as with multi-byte char* strings in traditional string handling.
 * Operations on partial strings typically do not test for code point boundaries.
 * If necessary, the user needs to take care of such boundaries by testing for the code unit
 * values or by using functions like
 * UnicodeString::getChar32Start() and UnicodeString::getChar32Limit()
 * (or, in C, the equivalent macros U16_SET_CP_START() and U16_SET_CP_LIMIT(), see utf.h).</p>
 *
 * UnicodeString methods are more lenient with regard to input parameter values
 * than other ICU APIs. In particular:
 * - If indexes are out of bounds for a UnicodeString object
 *   (<0 or >length()) then they are "pinned" to the nearest boundary.
 * - If primitive string pointer values (e.g., const UChar * or char *)
 *   for input strings are NULL, then those input string parameters are treated
 *   as if they pointed to an empty string.
 *   However, this is <em>not</em> the case for char * parameters for charset names
 *   or other IDs.
 * - Most UnicodeString methods do not take a UErrorCode parameter because
 *   there are usually very few opportunities for failure other than a shortage
 *   of memory, error codes in low-level C++ string methods would be inconvenient,
 *   and the error code as the last parameter (ICU convention) would prevent
 *   the use of default parameter values.
 *   Instead, such methods set the UnicodeString into a "bogus" state
 *   (see isBogus()) if an error occurs.
 *
 * In string comparisons, two UnicodeString objects that are both "bogus"
 * compare equal (to be transitive and prevent endless loops in sorting),
 * and a "bogus" string compares less than any non-"bogus" one.
 *
 * Const UnicodeString methods are thread-safe. Multiple threads can use
 * const methods on the same UnicodeString object simultaneously,
 * but non-const methods must not be called concurrently (in multiple threads)
 * with any other (const or non-const) methods.
 *
 * Similarly, const UnicodeString & parameters are thread-safe.
 * One object may be passed in as such a parameter concurrently in multiple threads.
 * This includes the const UnicodeString & parameters for
 * copy construction, assignment, and cloning.
 *
 * <p>UnicodeString uses several storage methods.
 * String contents can be stored inside the UnicodeString object itself,
 * in an allocated and shared buffer, or in an outside buffer that is "aliased".
 * Most of this is done transparently, but careful aliasing in particular provides
 * significant performance improvements.
 * Also, the internal buffer is accessible via special functions.
 * For details see the
 * <a href="http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings#TOC-Maximizing-Performance-with-the-UnicodeString-Storage-Model">User Guide Strings chapter</a>.</p>

   * The following are all the class fields that are stored
   * in each UnicodeString object.
   * Note that UnicodeString has virtual functions,
   * therefore there is an implicit vtable pointer
   * as the first real field.
   * The fields should be aligned such that no padding is necessary.
   * On 32-bit machines, the size should be 32 bytes,
   * on 64-bit machines (8-byte pointers), it should be 40 bytes.
   *
   * We use a hack to achieve this.
   *
   * With at least some compilers, each of the following is forced to
   * a multiple of sizeof(pointer) [the largest field base unit here is a data pointer],
   * rounded up with additional padding if the fields do not already fit that requirement:
   * - sizeof(class UnicodeString)
   * - offsetof(UnicodeString, fUnion)
   * - sizeof(fUnion)
   * - sizeof(fStackFields)
   *
   * We optimize for the longest possible internal buffer for short strings.
   * fUnion.fStackFields begins with 2 bytes for storage flags
   * and the length of relatively short strings,
   * followed by the buffer for short string contents.
   * There is no padding inside fStackFields.
   *
   * Heap-allocated and aliased strings use fUnion.fFields.
   * Both fStackFields and fFields must begin with the same fields for flags and short length,
   * that is, those must have the same memory offsets inside the object,
   * because the flags must be inspected in order to decide which half of fUnion is being used.
   * We assume that the compiler does not reorder the fields.
   *
   * (Padding at the end of fFields is ok:
   * As long as it is no larger than fStackFields, it is not wasted space.)
   *
   * For some of the history of the UnicodeString class fields layout, see
   * - ICU ticket #11551 "longer UnicodeString contents in stack buffer"
   * - ICU ticket #11336 "UnicodeString: recombine stack buffer arrays"
   * - ICU ticket #8322 "why is sizeof(UnicodeString)==48?"
