Class ShortByReference

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Number

jnr.ffi.byref.AbstractNumberReference<Short>

jnr.ffi.byref.ShortByReference

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ByReference<Short>

public final class ShortByReference
extends AbstractNumberReference<Short>

ShortByReference is used when the address of a primitive short value must be passed as a parameter to a function.

For example, the following C code,

extern void get_a(short * ap);

short foo(void) {
    short 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 ShortByReference ap);
}

and used like this

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