+/**
+ * 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
