Hi Armin,
...I wish I could make sense of what you said, but I'm probably just
too tired at the moment. I don't understand what the low-level
difference between "int*" and "int&" is.
at low-level, sure. But to first order, I deal with wrappers (even in
cling, as it could be an inline function, which, although having external
linkage, is usually removed from the code section).
More importantly I don't understand why you would mention cffi/ctypes,
given that these two are not about C++ at all.
No, but they actually do have ints.
Right now, to get an int*, one would have to do:
import array
flag = array.array('i', [0])
set_flag(flag)
But here's what I'd like code to look like:
flag = c_int(0)
set_flag(flag)
and I can cook up a c_int myself, or re-use a data type representing a
c_int, either from ctypes or cffi, that is already available. Re-using
seems a better idea. For that to work, though, I need to be able to
take the address of the actual payload of the c_int. This is not in the
public interface of ctypes on CPython.
Best regards,
Wim
