Package jnr.ffi.byref

Class IntByReference

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Number

jnr.ffi.byref.AbstractNumberReference<java.lang.Integer>

jnr.ffi.byref.IntByReference

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, ByReference<java.lang.Integer>

public final class IntByReference
extends AbstractNumberReference<java.lang.Integer>

IntByReference is used when the address of a primitive int must be passed as a parameter to a function.

For example, the following C code,

 
 extern void get_a(int * ap);

 int foo(void) {
     int a;
     // pass a reference to 'a' so get_a() can fill it out
     get_a(&a);

     return a;
 }
 
 

Would be declared in java as

 
 interface Lib {
     void get_a(@Out IntByReference ap);
 }
 
 

and used like this

 IntByReference ap = new IntByReference();
 lib.get_a(ap);
 System.out.printf("a from lib=%d\n", a.intValue());
