parse_ctype

v2_5_5 - Show latest stable - Class: Fiddle::CParser

parse_ctype(ty, tymap=nil)

public

Given a String of C type ty, returns the corresponding Fiddle constant.

ty can also accept an Array of C type Strings, and will be returned in a corresponding Array.

If Hash tymap is provided, ty is expected to be the key, and the value will be the C type to be looked up.

Example:

require 'fiddle/import'

include Fiddle::CParser
  #=> Object

parse_ctype('int')
  #=> Fiddle::TYPE_INT

parse_ctype('double diff')
  #=> Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE

parse_ctype('unsigned char byte')
  #=> -Fiddle::TYPE_CHAR

parse_ctype('const char* const argv[]')
  #=> -Fiddle::TYPE_VOIDP
