I am trying to call a C function from Swift , but I do not know exactly how to define variables to pass parameters.
The function c is:
DBFGetFieldInfo( DBFHandle psDBF, int iField, char * pszFieldName, int * pnWidth, int * pnDecimals );
The main problem is pszFieldName
, pnWidth
and pnDecimals
inout parameters. I tried made :
var dbf:DBFHandle = DBFOpen(pszPath, "rb")
var fName:[CChar] = []
var fieldWidth:Int32 = 0
let fieldDecimals:Int32 = 0
let fieldInfo:DBFFieldType = DBFGetFieldInfo(dbf, i, fName, &fieldWidth, &fieldDecimals)
but it gives me an error
Cannot invoke 'DBFGetFieldInfo' with an argument list of type '(DBFHandle, Int32, [CChar], inout Int32, inout Int32)'
Expected an argument list of type '(DBFHandle, Int32, UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8>, UnsafeMutablePointer<Int32>, UnsafeMutablePointer<Int32>)'
Any ideas?
UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8>, UnsafeMutablePointer<Int32>, UnsafeMutablePointer<Int32>
You need to convert your variables to the appropriate types required by the method signature.
C Syntax:
Swift Syntax:
This is covered by Apple in their Using Swift with Cocoa and Objective-C reference located here .
C Syntax -----> Swift Syntax
const Type * -----> UnsafePointer
Type * -----> UnsafeMutablePointer
The number of input and the types should be the same
To create an UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8>
from a string use:
String(count: 10, repeatedValue: Character("\0")).withCString( { cString in
println()
// Call your function here with cString
})
