Package org.lwjgl.system.dyncall

Class DynCall

  • public class DynCall
extends java.lang.Object
    Native bindings to \"dyncall.h\".

    The dyncall library encapsulates architecture-, OS- and compiler-specific function call semantics in a virtual "bind argument parameters from left to right and then call" interface allowing programmers to call C functions in a completely dynamic manner.

    In other words, instead of calling a function directly, the dyncall library provides a mechanism to push the function parameters manually and to issue the call afterwards.

    Since the idea behind this concept is similar to call dispatching mechanisms of virtual machines, the object that can be dynamically loaded with arguments, and then used to actually invoke the call, is called CallVM. It is possible to change the calling convention used by the CallVM at run-time. Due to the fact that nearly every platform comes with one or more distinct calling conventions, the dyncall library project intends to be a portable and open-source approach to the variety of compiler-specific binary interfaces, platform specific subtleties, and so on...

    • Method Detail

      • dcNewCallVM

        public static long dcNewCallVM​(long size)
        Creates a new CallVM object.

        Use Free to destroy the CallVM object.

        Parameters:
        size - the max size of the internal stack that will be allocated and used to bind arguments to

      • ndcFree

        public static void ndcFree​(long vm)
        Unsafe version of: Free

      • dcFree

        public static void dcFree​(long vm)
        Frees a CallVM object.
        Parameters:

      • ndcReset

        public static void ndcReset​(long vm)

      • dcReset

        public static void dcReset​(long vm)
        Resets the internal stack of arguments and prepares it for a new call. This function should be called after setting the call mode (using Mode), but prior to binding arguments to the CallVM. Use it also when reusing a CallVM, as arguments don’t get flushed automatically after a function call invocation.

        Note: you should also call this function after initial creation of the a CallVM object, as NewCallVM doesn’t do this, implicitly.

        Parameters:
        vm - a CallVM instance
