Module interoptopus::patterns::string

Raw *const char pointer on C-level but ASCII string like in languages that support it.

Example

In your library you can accept ASCII strings like this:

use interoptopus::ffi_function;
use interoptopus::patterns::string::AsciiPointer;

#[ffi_function]
#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn call_with_string(_string: AsciiPointer)  {
    //
}

Backends supporting this pattern might generate the equivalent to the following pseudo-code:

void call_with_string(string _string);

Backends not supporting this pattern, and C FFI, will see the equivalent of the following C code:

void call_with_string(uint8_t* _string);

Structs

AsciiPointer

Represents a *const char on FFI level pointing to an 0x0 terminated ASCII string.
