find_type(name, type_map = nil) click to toggle source

@param [Type, DataConverter, Symbol] name @param [Hash] type_map if nil, {FFI::TypeDefs} is used @return [Type] Find a type in type_map ({FFI::TypeDefs}, by default) from a type objet, a type name (symbol). If name is a {DataConverter}, a new {Type::Mapped} is created.

# File lib/ffi/types.rb, line 56
def self.find_type(name, type_map = nil)
  if name.is_a?(Type)
    name

  elsif type_map && type_map.has_key?(name)

    raise TypeError, "unable to resolve type '#{name}'"
  end
end

map_library_name(lib) click to toggle source

@param [#to_s] lib library name @return [String] library name formatted for current platform Transform a generic library name to a platform library name @example

# Linux
FFI.map_library_name 'c'     # -> "libc.so.6"
FFI.map_library_name 'jpeg'  # -> "libjpeg.so"
# Windows
FFI.map_library_name 'c'     # -> "msvcrt.dll"
FFI.map_library_name 'jpeg'  # -> "jpeg.dll"

# File lib/ffi/library.rb, line 44
def self.map_library_name(lib)
  # Mangle the library name to reflect the native library naming conventions
  lib = lib.to_s unless lib.kind_of?(String)
  lib = Library::LIBC if lib == 'c'

  if lib && File.basename(lib) == lib
    lib = Platform::LIBPREFIX + lib unless lib =~ /^#{Platform::LIBPREFIX}/
    r = Platform::IS_GNU ? "\\.so($|\\.[1234567890]+)" : "\\.#{Platform::LIBSUFFIX}$"
    lib += ".#{Platform::LIBSUFFIX}" unless lib =~ /#{r}/
  end

  lib
end

type_size(type) click to toggle source

@param type type is an instance of class accepted by {FFI.find_type} @return [Numeric] Get type size, in bytes.

# File lib/ffi/types.rb, line 176
def self.type_size(type)
  find_type(type).size
end

typedef(old, add) click to toggle source

@param [Type, DataConverter, Symbol] old type definition used by {FFI.find_type} @param [Symbol] add new type definition's name to add @return [Type] Add a definition type to type definitions.

# File lib/ffi/types.rb, line 40
def self.typedef(old, add)
  TypeDefs[add] = self.find_type(old)
end
