Re: [icu-design] formatMeasures(array of Measure *) ?

[Shane C. <sf...@go...>]

Hi Andi,

I'm not sure I follow?  The existing *formatMeasures* method accepts a *const
Measure** parameter, not *Measure[]*:

186  UnicodeString
<http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1UnicodeString.html>
&formatMeasures(
187  const Measure
<http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1Measure.html> *measures,
188  int32_t measureCount,
189  UnicodeString
<http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1UnicodeString.html>
&appendTo,
190  FieldPosition
<http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1FieldPosition.html> &pos,
191  UErrorCode
<http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/utypes_8h.html#a3343c1c8a8377277046774691c98d78c>
&status) const;

What is the full signature of the method you are proposing?
