Allocates a C struct with the types provided.

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

Calls superclass method Fiddle::Pointer::malloc
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/struct.rb, line 293
def CStructEntity.malloc(types, func = nil, size = size(types), &block)

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.

  super(addr, @size, func)
end
size(types) click to toggle source

Returns the offset for the packed sizes for the given types.

Public Instance Methods

[](*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 ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/struct.rb, line 413
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) )
    if ty.first.respond_to?(:entity_class)
      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
  packer = Packer.new([ty])
  val = packer.unpack([r])
  case ty
  when Array
    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]

  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
