Class NativeLongByReference

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Number
      jnr.ffi.byref.AbstractNumberReference<NativeLong>
          jnr.ffi.byref.NativeLongByReference

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ByReference<NativeLong>

public final class NativeLongByReference
extends AbstractNumberReference<NativeLong>

NativeLongByReference is used when the address of a primitive C long must be passed as a parameter to a function.

For example, the following C code,

 extern void get_a(long * ap);

 long foo(void) {
     long 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 NativeLongByReference ap);
 }
 
 

and used like this

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