Pointer handling
SWIG pointers are mapped into Python strings containing the hexadecimal value and type. The following functions can be used to create and read pointer values .
SWIG Pointer Conversion Functions
void SWIG_MakePtr(char *str, void *ptr, |
Makes a pointer string and saves it |
char *type) |
in str, which must be large enough |
|
to hold the result. ptr contains the |
|
pointer value and type is the string |
|
representation of the type. |
|
|
char *SWIG_GetPtr(char *str, void **ptr, |
Attempts to read a pointer from the |
char *type) |
string str. ptr is the address of the |
|
pointer to be created and type is the |
|
expected type. If type is NULL, |
|
then any pointer value will be |
|
accepted. On success, this function |
|
returns NULL. On failure, it returns |
|
the pointer to the invalid portion of |
|
the pointer string. |
|
|
These functions can be used in typemaps. For example, the following typemap makes an argument of “char *buffer” accept a pointer instead of a NULL-terminated ASCII string.
%typemap(python,in) char *buffer { PyObject *o;
char *str;
if (!PyString_Check(o)) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError,”not a string”); return NULL;
}
str = PyString_AsString(o);
if (SWIG_GetPtr(str, (void **) &$target, “$mangle”)) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError,”not a pointer”); return NULL;
}
}
Note that the $mangle variable generates the type string associated with the datatype used in the typemap.
