In fact the most interesting question: can ubidi_getLevels return
another pointer or not? If there is such possibility then we need to
store original pointer somewhere.
Yes, there is such possibility. If I understand correctly, in case Oleg just mentioned, a new level array will be created and returned by ubidi_getLevels, although I'm not ICU4C guru:).

IMO, the original pointer should be kept by the application using ICU4C, because the ubidi API document doesn't gurantee that the ubidi_getLevels will return the embeddinglevel from setPara(), but it does requires the application to take care of that embeddinglevel's life cycle(allocate/deallocate), so it is safer to keep this pointer somewhere.

2006/10/12, Oleg Khaschansky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
What exactly your code is? It, probably, may rearrange the levels if
you didn't explicitely set them for all the characters including
trailing whitespace. If this is the case it may add some additional
levels and relocate the array. Could you check if the size of the
array changed?
