Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-1058:
-------------------------------------
This issue is probably superseded by the C API work
> [C++] Define minimalist C structs for exposing Arrow data types to C code
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-1058
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1058
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
>
> This can also accompany an alternate IPC loader which does not use
> {{shared_ptr<Buffer>}} or other currently-in-use tools for RAII-based object
> lifetime.
> For example, we would be able to expose {{arrow::StringArray}} to C code in a
> struct like
> {code:language=c}
> typedef struct {
> int64_t length;
> int64_t offset;
> int64_t null_count;
> const uint8_t* valid_bits;
> } arrow_array_t;
> typedef struct {
> struct arrow_array_t base;
> const int32_t* offsets;
> const uint8_t* data;
> } arrow_string_array_t;
> {code}
