Note that of course you can take this one step further and use a typedef to
mask that you're passing back an untyped pointer:
typedef OCObjcCodeRef void *
OCObjcCodeRef OCCreateObjcCode(void)
{
return (ObjcCodeRef)[[ObjcCode alloc] init]
}
int OCGetFloatData(OCObjcCodeRef objcCodeRef, float *result1, float *result2)
{
ObjcCode *obj = (ObjcCode *)objcCodeRef;
@autoreleasepool
{
*result1 = [obj doSomeStuff];
*result2 = [obj doSomethingElse];
return [obj doMagic];
}
}
void OCReleaseObjcCode(OCObjcCodeRef o)
{
[(ObjcCode *)o release];
}
Which gets you roughly to the "toll free bridging" abstraction.
