/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * reference.i * * Accept Perl references as pointers * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ /* The following methods make Perl references work like simple C pointers. References can only be used for simple input/output values, not C arrays however. It should also be noted that REFERENCES are specific to Perl and not supported in other scripting languages at this time. int *REFERENCE short *REFERENCE long *REFERENCE unsigned int *REFERENCE unsigned short *REFERENCE unsigned long *REFERENCE unsigned char *REFERENCE float *REFERENCE double *REFERENCE For example, suppose you were trying to wrap the following function : void neg(double *x) { *x = -(*x); } You could wrap it with SWIG as follows : %include reference.i void neg(double *REFERENCE); or you can use the %apply directive : %include reference.i %apply double *REFERENCE { double *x }; void neg(double *x); Unlike the INOUT mapping described in typemaps.i, this approach directly modifies the value of a Perl reference. Thus, you could use it as follows : $x = 3; neg(\$x); print "$x\n"; # Should print out -3. */ %typemap(in) double *REFERENCE (double dvalue), double &REFERENCE(double dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if ((!SvNOK(tempsv)) && (!SvIOK(tempsv))) { printf("Received %d\n", SvTYPE(tempsv)); SWIG_croak("Expected a double reference."); } dvalue = SvNV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) float *REFERENCE (float dvalue), float &REFERENCE(float dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if ((!SvNOK(tempsv)) && (!SvIOK(tempsv))) { SWIG_croak("expected a double reference"); } dvalue = (float) SvNV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) int *REFERENCE (int dvalue), int &REFERENCE (int dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = SvIV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) short *REFERENCE (short dvalue), short &REFERENCE(short dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = (short) SvIV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) long *REFERENCE (long dvalue), long &REFERENCE(long dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = (long) SvIV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) unsigned int *REFERENCE (unsigned int dvalue), unsigned int &REFERENCE(unsigned int dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = (unsigned int) SvUV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) unsigned short *REFERENCE (unsigned short dvalue), unsigned short &REFERENCE(unsigned short dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = (unsigned short) SvUV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) unsigned long *REFERENCE (unsigned long dvalue), unsigned long &REFERENCE(unsigned long dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = (unsigned long) SvUV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) unsigned char *REFERENCE (unsigned char dvalue), unsigned char &REFERENCE(unsigned char dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = (unsigned char) SvUV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) signed char *REFERENCE (signed char dvalue), signed char &REFERENCE(signed char dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = (signed char) SvIV(tempsv); $1 = &dvalue; } %typemap(in) bool *REFERENCE (bool dvalue), bool &REFERENCE(bool dvalue) { SV *tempsv; if (!SvROK($input)) { SWIG_croak("expected a reference"); } tempsv = SvRV($input); if (!SvIOK(tempsv)) { SWIG_croak("expected a integer reference"); } dvalue = SvIV(tempsv) ?
