class Fiddle::Closure

Description

An FFI closure wrapper, for handling callbacks.

Example

closure = Class.new(Fiddle::Closure) {
  def call
    10
  end
}.new(Fiddle::TYPE_INT, [])
   #=> #<#<Class:0x0000000150d308>:0x0000000150d240>
func = Fiddle::Function.new(closure, [], Fiddle::TYPE_INT)
   #=> #<Fiddle::Function:0x00000001516e58>
func.call
   #=> 10

Attributes

args[R]

arguments of the FFI closure

ctype[R]

the C type of the return of the FFI closure

Public Class Methods

create(*args) { |closure| ... } click to toggle source

Create a new closure. If a block is given, the created closure is automatically freed after the given block is executed.

The all given arguments are passed to Fiddle::Closure.new. So using this method without block equals to Fiddle::Closure.new.

Example

Fiddle::Closure.create(TYPE_INT, [TYPE_INT]) do |closure|
  # closure is freed automatically when this block is finished.
end
# File fiddle/lib/fiddle/closure.rb, line 16
def create(*args)
  if block_given?
    closure = new(*args)
    begin
      yield(closure)
    ensure
      closure.free
    end
  else
    new(*args)
  end
end
new(ret, args, abi = Fiddle::DEFAULT) click to toggle source

Construct a new Closure object.

  • ret is the C type to be returned

  • args is an Array of arguments, passed to the callback function

  • abi is the abi of the closure

If there is an error in preparing the ffi_cif or ffi_prep_closure, then a RuntimeError will be raised.

Public Instance Methods

free() click to toggle source

Free this closure explicitly. You can’t use this closure anymore.

If this closure is already freed, this does nothing.

static VALUE
closure_free(VALUE self)
{
    fiddle_closure *closure;
    TypedData_Get_Struct(self, fiddle_closure, &closure_data_type, closure);
    if (closure) {
        dealloc(closure);
        RTYPEDDATA_DATA(self) = NULL;
    }
    return RUBY_Qnil;
}
freed?() click to toggle source

Whether this closure was freed explicitly.

static VALUE
closure_freed_p(VALUE self)
{
    fiddle_closure *closure;
    TypedData_Get_Struct(self, fiddle_closure, &closure_data_type, closure);
    return closure ? RUBY_Qfalse : RUBY_Qtrue;
}
to_i() click to toggle source

Returns the memory address for this closure.

static VALUE
to_i(VALUE self)
{
    fiddle_closure *closure = get_raw(self);
    return PTR2NUM(closure->code);
}
