pointer: Class and function describing a pointer with information...

In omegahat/Rffi: Interface to libffi to dynamically invoke arbitrary compiled routines at run-time without compiled bindings

Class and function describing a pointer with information about the type to which it points.

Description

The class PointerType is a sub-class of PointerFFIType and provides a description of a native type that is a pointer to a particular data type. The key difference is that this FFI type allows us to query the type(s) to which it points, as opposed to being a generic pointer to an arbitrary type.

Usage

pointer(type)  

Arguments

type	an object of class FFIType-class. This is the data type to which this pointer points.

Value

An object of class PointerType. This class has a elType slot that contains the type of the element for this pointer type.
