i'm trying to create a binding for berkeley db dll and quickly ran into some
problems, how do i translate statement below.
int DB->open(DB *db, DB_TXN *txnid, const char *file,
const char *database, DBTYPE type, u_int32_t flags, int mode);
my normal approach would be,
extern (C) {
int function(DB* db, DB_TXN* txnid, char* file, char* database, DBTYPE
type, u_int32_t flags, int mode) DB->open;
}
but real problem is 'DB->open', can anoybody suggest a workaround for this. DB
is just a simple struct (struct DB;)
The function name is not 'DB->open'. That's something used in the
comments. Nearly all functions in Berkeley DB are declared as function
pointers used as struct fields. So what you'll want is something like this:
extern(C):
struct DB
{
int function(DB* db, DB_TXN* txnid, char* file, char* database,
DBTYPE type, u_int32_t flags, int mode) open;
}
Along with all of the rest of the DB function pointers and the numerous
inner structs declared in the C headers.
