malloc(types, func = nil, size = size(types)) { |struct| ... } click to toggle source

Allocates a C struct with the types provided.

See Fiddle::Pointer.malloc for memory management issues.

# File fiddle/lib/fiddle/struct.rb, line 293
def CStructEntity.malloc(types, func = nil, size = size(types))
  if block_given? and func.nil?
    message = "a free function must be supplied to #{self}.malloc " +
              "when it is called with a block"
    raise ArgumentError, message
  end

  pointer = Pointer.malloc(size)
  begin
    struct = new(pointer, types, func)
  rescue
    pointer.free = func
    pointer.call_free
    raise
  end
  if block_given?
    begin
      yield(struct)
    ensure
      struct.call_free
    end
  else
    struct
  end
end

new(addr, types, func = nil) click to toggle source

Wraps the C pointer addr as a C struct with the given types.

When the instance is garbage collected, the C function func is called.

# File fiddle/lib/fiddle/struct.rb, line 522
def +(delta)
  Pointer.new(to_i + delta, @size - delta)
end

# File fiddle/lib/fiddle/struct.rb, line 526
def -(delta)
  Pointer.new(to_i - delta, @size + delta)
end

[](*args) click to toggle source

Fetch struct member name if only one argument is specified. If two arguments are specified, the first is an offset and the second is a length and this method returns the string of length bytes beginning at offset.

Examples:

my_struct = struct(['int id']).malloc
my_struct.id = 1
my_struct['id'] # => 1
my_struct[0, 4] # => "\x01\x00\x00\x00".b

Calls superclass method Fiddle::Pointer::[]

# File fiddle/lib/fiddle/struct.rb, line 426
def [](*args)
  return super(*args) if args.size > 1
  name = args[0]
  idx = @members.index(name)
  if( idx.nil? )
    raise(ArgumentError, "no such member: #{name}")
  end
  ty = @ctypes[idx]
  if( ty.is_a?(Array) )

      return @nested_structs[name]
    else
      r = super(@offset[idx], SIZE_MAP[ty[0]] * ty[1])
    end
  elsif ty.respond_to?(:entity_class)
    return @nested_structs[name]
  else
    r = super(@offset[idx], SIZE_MAP[ty.abs])
  end

  val = packer.unpack([r])
  case ty

    case ty[0]
    when TYPE_VOIDP
      val = val.collect{|v| Pointer.new(v)}
    end
  when TYPE_VOIDP
    val = Pointer.new(val[0])
  else
    val = val[0]
  end
  if( ty.is_a?(Integer) && (ty < 0) )
    return unsigned_value(val, ty)
  elsif( ty.is_a?(Array) && (ty[0] < 0) )
    return StructArray.new(self + @offset[idx], ty[0], val)
  else
    return val
  end
end

[]=(*args) click to toggle source

Set struct member name, to value val. If more arguments are specified, writes the string of bytes to the memory at the given offset and length.

Examples:

my_struct = struct(['int id']).malloc
my_struct['id'] = 1
my_struct[0, 4] = "\x01\x00\x00\x00".b
my_struct.id # => 1

Calls superclass method Fiddle::Pointer#[]=
