Class Method Details



  

    .__typedef(old, add)  
  

  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/ffi/types.rb', line 66



private def __typedef(old, add)
  TypeDefs[add] = find_type(old, TypeDefs)
end


  








  

    ._async_cb_dispatcher_atfork_child  
  



  

    

Ruby code will call this method in a Process._fork patch


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'ext/ffi_c/Function.c', line 255



static VALUE
async_cb_dispatcher_atfork_child(VALUE self)
{
    struct async_cb_dispatcher *ctx = async_cb_dispatcher_get();
    if (ctx) {
        async_cb_dispatcher_initialize(ctx);
    }
    return Qnil;
}


  








  

    .add_typedef(old, add)  ⇒ Type 
  



  

    

Add a definition type to type definitions.



The type definition is local per Ractor.


  





  
Parameters:





  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/ffi/types.rb', line 62



def add_typedef(old, add)
  typedef old, add
end


  








  

    .custom_typedefs   (mod_func)
  



  

    

Truffleruby and JRuby don’t support Ractor so far. So they don’t need separation between builtin and custom types.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'ext/ffi_c/Type.c', line 258



static VALUE
custom_typedefs(VALUE self)
{
#if HAVE_RB_EXT_RACTOR_SAFE
    VALUE hash = rb_ractor_local_storage_value(custom_typedefs_key);
    if (hash == Qnil) {
        hash = rb_hash_new();
        rb_ractor_local_storage_value_set(custom_typedefs_key, hash);
    }
#else
    static VALUE hash = Qundef;
    if (hash == Qundef) {
        rb_global_variable(&hash);
        hash = rb_hash_new();
    }
#endif
    return hash;
}


  








  

    .find_type(name, type_map = nil)  ⇒ Type 
  



  

    

Find a type in type_map (TypeDefs, by default) from a type objet, a type name (symbol). If name is a ::FFI::DataConverter, a new ::FFI::Type::Mapped is created.


  





  
Parameters:





  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/ffi/types.rb', line 76



def find_type(name, type_map = nil)
  if name.is_a?(Type)
    name

  elsif type_map&.has_key?(name)
    type_map[name]

  elsif (tm=custom_typedefs).has_key?(name)
    tm[name]

  elsif TypeDefs.has_key?(name)
    TypeDefs[name]

  elsif name.is_a?(DataConverter)
    # Add a typedef so next time the converter is used, it hits the cache
    tm = (type_map || custom_typedefs)
    tm[name] = Type::Mapped.new(name)
  else
    raise TypeError, "unable to resolve type '#{name}'"
  end
end


  








  

    .make_shareable(obj)  
  



  

    

This is for FFI internal use only.



See additional method definition at line 35.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/ffi/compat.rb', line 39



def self.make_shareable(obj)
  Ractor.make_shareable(obj)
end


  








  

    .map_library_name(lib)  ⇒ String 
  



  

    

Transform a generic library name to a platform library name


  





    

    
Examples:

      
# Linux
FFI.map_library_name 'c'     # -> "libc.so.6"
FFI.map_library_name 'jpeg'  # -> "libjpeg.so"
# Windows
FFI.map_library_name 'c'     # -> "msvcrt.dll"
FFI.map_library_name 'jpeg'  # -> "jpeg.dll"

  


Parameters:



Returns:


    
  
  • 
    (String)
—    
    

    library name formatted for current platform
    

    
  
    • 





  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'lib/ffi/library.rb', line 46



def self.map_library_name(lib)
  # Mangle the library name to reflect the native library naming conventions
  LibraryPath.wrap(lib).to_s
end


  








  

    .type_size(type)  ⇒ Integer 
  



  

    

Get type size, in bytes.


  





  
Parameters:


    
  
  • 
    type
    (type)
—    
    

    is an instance of class accepted by .find_type
    

    
  
    •

# File 'lib/ffi/types.rb', line 101



def type_size(type)
  find_type(type).size
end


  








  

    .typedef(old, add)  ⇒ Type 
  



  

    

Add a definition type to type definitions.



The type definition is local per Ractor.


  





  
Parameters:
