Constructor Detail

CallContext

public CallContext(Type returnType,
                   Type... parameterTypes)

Creates a new instance of Function with default calling convention.

Parameters:

returnType - The return type of the native function.

parameterTypes - The parameter types the function accepts.

CallContext

public CallContext(Type returnType,
                   Type[] parameterTypes,
                   CallingConvention convention)

Creates a new instance of Function. Function instances created with this constructor will save the C errno contents after each call.

Parameters:

returnType - The return type of the native function.

parameterTypes - The parameter types the function accepts.

convention - The calling convention of the function.

CallContext

public CallContext(Type returnType,
                   Type[] parameterTypes,
                   CallingConvention convention,
                   boolean saveErrno)

Method Detail

getCallContext

public static CallContext getCallContext(Type returnType,
                                         Type[] parameterTypes,
                                         CallingConvention convention,
                                         boolean saveErrno)

Returns a CallContext instance. This may return a previously cached instance that matches the signature requested, and should be used in preference to instantiating new instances.

Parameters:

returnType - The return type of the native function.

parameterTypes - The parameter types the function accepts.

convention - The calling convention of the function.

saveErrno - Indicates that the errno should be saved

Returns:

An instance of CallContext
