Class IntByReference

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Number

jnr.ffi.byref.AbstractNumberReference<Integer>

jnr.ffi.byref.IntByReference

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ByReference<Integer>

public final class IntByReference
extends AbstractNumberReference<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());
