Struct VZUSBController

#[repr(C)]
pub struct VZUSBController { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature VZUSBController only.

Class representing a USB controller in a virtual machine.

VZUSBController should not be instantiated directly. USB controllers are first configured on the VZVirtualMachineConfiguration through a subclass of VZUSBControllerConfiguration. When a VZVirtualMachine is created from the configuration, the USB controllers are available through the VZVirtualMachine.usbControllers property. The real type of VZUSBController corresponds to the type used by the configuration. For example, a VZXHCIControllerConfiguration leads to a device of type VZXHCIController.

Implementations

impl VZUSBController

pub unsafe fn new() -> Retained<Self>

pub unsafe fn init(this: Allocated<Self>) -> Retained<Self>

pub unsafe fn attachDevice_completionHandler( &self, device: &ProtocolObject<dyn VZUSBDevice>, completion_handler: &DynBlock<dyn Fn(*mut NSError)>, )

Available on crate features VZUSBDevice and block2 only.

Attach a USB device.

If the device is successfully attached to the controller, it will appear in the usbDevices property, its usbController property will be set to point to the USB controller that it is attached to and completion handler will return nil. If the device was previously attached to this or another USB controller, attach function will fail with the VZErrorDeviceAlreadyAttached. If the device cannot be initialized correctly, attach function will fail with VZErrorDeviceInitializationFailure. This method must be called on the virtual machine’s queue.

Parameter device: USB device to attach.

Parameter completionHandler: Block called after the device has been attached or on error. The error parameter passed to the block is nil if the attach was successful. It will be also invoked on an virtual machine’s queue.

See: VZUSBDevice

pub unsafe fn detachDevice_completionHandler( &self, device: &ProtocolObject<dyn VZUSBDevice>, completion_handler: &DynBlock<dyn Fn(*mut NSError)>, )

Available on crate features VZUSBDevice and block2 only.

Detach a USB device.

If the device is successfully detached from the controller, it will disappear from the usbDevices property, its usbController property will be set to nil and completion handler will return nil. If the device wasn’t attached to the controller at the time of calling detach method, it will fail with the VZErrorDeviceNotFound error. This method must be called on the virtual machine’s queue.

Parameter device: USB device to detach.

Parameter completionHandler: Block called after the device has been detached or on error. The error parameter passed to the block is nil if the detach was successful. It will be also invoked on an virtual machine’s queue.

See: VZUSBDevice

pub unsafe fn usbDevices( &self, ) -> Retained<NSArray<ProtocolObject<dyn VZUSBDevice>>>

Available on crate feature VZUSBDevice only.

Return a list of USB devices attached to controller.

If corresponding USB controller configuration included in VZVirtualMachineConfiguration contained any USB devices, those devices will appear here when virtual machine is started.

Methods from Deref<Target = NSObject>

pub fn doesNotRecognizeSelector(&self, sel: Sel) -> !

Handle messages the object doesn’t recognize.

See Apple’s documentation for details.

Methods from Deref<Target = AnyObject>

pub fn class(&self) -> &'static AnyClass

Dynamically find the class of this object.

Panics

May panic if the object is invalid (which may be the case for objects returned from unavailable init/new methods).

Example

Check that an instance of NSObject has the precise class NSObject.

use objc2::ClassType;
use objc2::runtime::NSObject;

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert_eq!(obj.class(), NSObject::class());

pub unsafe fn get_ivar<T>(&self, name: &str) -> &T

where T: Encode,

👎Deprecated: this is difficult to use correctly, use Ivar::load instead.

Use Ivar::load instead.

Safety

The object must have an instance variable with the given name, and it must be of type T.

See Ivar::load_ptr for details surrounding this.

pub fn downcast_ref<T>(&self) -> Option<&T>

where T: DowncastTarget,

Attempt to downcast the object to a class of type T.

This is the reference-variant. Use Retained::downcast if you want to convert a retained object to another type.

Mutable classes

Some classes have immutable and mutable variants, such as NSString and NSMutableString.

When some Objective-C API signature says it gives you an immutable class, it generally expects you to not mutate that, even though it may technically be mutable “under the hood”.

So using this method to convert a NSString to a NSMutableString, while not unsound, is generally frowned upon unless you created the string yourself, or the API explicitly documents the string to be mutable.

See Apple’s documentation on mutability and on isKindOfClass: for more details.

Generic classes

Objective-C generics are called “lightweight generics”, and that’s because they aren’t exposed in the runtime. This makes it impossible to safely downcast to generic collections, so this is disallowed by this method.

You can, however, safely downcast to generic collections where all the type-parameters are AnyObject.

Panics

This works internally by calling isKindOfClass:. That means that the object must have the instance method of that name, and an exception will be thrown (if CoreFoundation is linked) or the process will abort if that is not the case. In the vast majority of cases, you don’t need to worry about this, since both root objects NSObject and NSProxy implement this method.

Examples

Cast an NSString back and forth from NSObject.

use objc2::rc::Retained;
use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj: Retained<NSObject> = NSString::new().into_super();
let string = obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().unwrap();
// Or with `downcast`, if we do not need the object afterwards
let string = obj.downcast::<NSString>().unwrap();

Try (and fail) to cast an NSObject to an NSString.

use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert!(obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().is_none());

Try to cast to an array of strings.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);
// This is invalid and doesn't type check.
let arr = arr.downcast_ref::<NSArray<NSString>>();

This fails to compile, since it would require enumerating over the array to ensure that each element is of the desired type, which is a performance pitfall.

Downcast when processing each element instead.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);

for elem in arr {
    if let Some(data) = elem.downcast_ref::<NSString>() {
        // handle `data`
    }
}
