In your case, I think that you want something like the following, wish you an
enjoyable amount of hacking!
sub your_stuff(&callback) {
... like pera-int-f before
my @parameters := &callback.signature.params;
my $signature = Signature.new(params => (
.... Other parameters before
Parameter.new(
type => Callable,
sub-signature => &callback.signature),
... Other parameters after
), returns => int32);
}
... like pera-int-f after
}

Subject: Re: nativecall and variable argument lists
Hello,
Thanks to the amazing job Lizmat did to implement runtime signatures it can be
done. You could also probably add some caching of the signatures and the
functions. I didn’t benchmark. Here the code:
use NativeCall;
sub pera-int-f(Str $format, *@args) {
state $ptr = cglobal(Str, "printf", Pointer);
my $signature = Signature.new(
params => (
Parameter.new(type => Str),
|(@args.map: { Parameter.new(type => .WHAT) })
),
returns => int32);
my &f = nativecast($signature, $ptr);
f($format, |@args)
}
pera-int-f("Pera + Mela = %d + %d %s\n", 25, 12, "cippas");
