Hi Nicholas
First, neko is awesome, i'm finding the FFI very intuitive to use.
Thanks for such great software.
I'm attempting to wrap Gtk in neko for use in haxe and so far it's
going quite well, but my first question is
value labelSetText(value w,value l) {
val_check_kind(w,k_label);
val_check(l,string);
gtk_label_set_text(GTK_LABEL(val_data(w)),val_string(l));
return val_true;
}
when I dereference val_string(l) do i get a copy of the string or is it
still garbage collected? I don't want to be passing a garbage collected
string to Gtk, so should I strdup(val_string(l)) ?
And I've come across a bizarre problem with the function above, I call
it with
private function setLabel(l:String) { _setLabel(_object,l);
return l; }
and define it with
static var _setLabel = neko.Lib.load("test","labelSetText",2);
now all the other functions I've wrapped require _setX(_object,untyped
l.__s) but this one fails with the following error
Uncaught exception - Invalid field access : __s
but it does work fine as defined above. So the bizarreness is
inconsistency.
Thx
