/**********************************************************************
 * File:        icuerrorcode.h
 * Description: Wrapper class for UErrorCode, with conversion operators for
 *              direct use in ICU C and C++ APIs.
 * Author:      Fredrik Roubert
 * Created:     Thu July 4 2013
 *
 * 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.
 * - Automatic checking for success when it goes out of scope. On failure,
 *   the destructor will log an error message and exit.
 *
 * Most of ICU will handle errors gracefully and provide sensible fallbacks.
 * Using IcuErrorCode, it is therefore possible to write very compact code
 * that does sensible things on failure and provides logging for debugging.
 *
 * Example:
 * IcuErrorCode icuerrorcode;
 * return collator.compareUTF8(a, b, icuerrorcode) == UCOL_EQUAL;
