NAME

6       FFI::Platypus::Type::StringArray - Platypus custom type for arrays of
7       strings
8

VERSION

10       version 1.32
11

SYNOPSIS

13       In your C code:
14
15        void
16        takes_string_array(const char **array)
17        {
18          ...
19        }
20
21        void
22        takes_fixed_string_array(const char *array[5])
23        {
24          ...
25        }
26
27       In your Platypus::FFI code:
28
29        use FFI::Platypus;
30
31        my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1 );
32        $ffi->load_custom_type('::StringArray' => 'string_array');
33        $ffi->load_custom_type('::StringArray' => 'string_5' => 5);
34
35        $ffi->attach(takes_string_array => ['string_array'] => 'void');
36        $ffi->attach(takes_fixed_string_array => ['string_5'] => 'void');
37
38        my @list = qw( foo bar baz );
39
40        takes_string_array(\@list);
41        takes_fixed_string_array([qw( s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 )]);

DESCRIPTION

44       NOTE: The primary motivation for this custom type was originally to
45       fill the void left by the fact that FFI::Platypus did not support
46       arrays of strings by itself.  Since 0.62 this support has been added,
47       and that is probably what you want to use, but the semantics and
48       feature set are slightly different, so there are cases where you might
49       want to use this custom type.
50
51       This module provides a FFI::Platypus custom type for arrays of strings.
52       The array is always NULL terminated.  Return types are supported!
53
54       This custom type takes two optional arguments.  The first is the size
55       of arrays and the second is a default value to fill in any values that
56       aren't provided when the function is called.  If not default is
57       provided then "NULL" will be passed in for those values.

SUPPORT

60       If something does not work the way you think it should, or if you have
61       a feature request, please open an issue on this project's GitHub Issue
62       tracker:
63
64       <https://github.com/plicease/FFI-Platypus-Type-StringArray/issues>
65

CONTRIBUTING

67       If you have implemented a new feature or fixed a bug then you may make
68       a pull request on this project's GitHub repository:
69
70       <https://github.com/plicease/FFI-Platypus-Type-StringArray/pulls>
71
72       This project's GitHub issue tracker listed above is not Write-Only.  If
73       you want to contribute then feel free to browse through the existing
74       issues and see if there is something you feel you might be good at and
75       take a whack at the problem.  I frequently open issues myself that I
76       hope will be accomplished by someone in the future but do not have time
77       to immediately implement myself.
78
79       Another good area to help out in is documentation.  I try to make sure
80       that there is good document coverage, that is there should be
81       documentation describing all the public features and warnings about
82       common pitfalls, but an outsider's or alternate view point on such
83       things would be welcome; if you see something confusing or lacks
84       sufficient detail I encourage documentation only pull requests to
85       improve things.
