module Gpointer: sig .. end
Gpointer: various kinds of pointers to C data
type 'a optaddr
Marked pointers
val optaddr : 'a option -> 'a optaddr
type
Naked pointers
val raw_null : optstring
val optstring : string option -> optstring
type
Boxed pointers
val boxed_null : boxed
val peek_string : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> boxed -> string
val peek_int : boxed -> int
val poke_int : boxed -> int -> unit
val peek_nativeint : boxed -> nativeint
val poke_nativeint : boxed -> nativeint -> unit
type 'a optboxed
val optboxed : 'a option -> 'a optboxed
val may_box : f:('a -> 'b) -> 'a option -> 'b optboxed
type [> ] variant_table
Variant tables
val decode_variant : ([> ] as 'a) variant_table -> int -> 'a
val encode_variant : ([> ] as 'a) variant_table -> 'a -> int
val decode_flags : ([> ] as 'a) variant_table -> int -> 'a list
val encode_flags : ([> ] as 'a) variant_table -> 'a list -> int
exception Null
Null pointer exception
type 'a stable
Ensure a value is copied in the old generation
val stable_copy : 'a -> 'a stable
Region handling
type
The abstract type of heap regions
val length : region -> int
the length of the region
val get_addr : region -> nativeint
the start address of the region
val sub : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> region -> region
subregion of length len starting at offset pos
val get_byte : region -> pos:int -> int
val set_byte : region -> pos:int -> int -> unit
val blit : src:region -> dst:region -> unit
val region_of_string : string -> region
create a region sharing a string
val string_of_region : region -> string
copy the contents of the region to a string
type 'a bigarray = (int, Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt, 'a) Bigarray.Array1.t
val region_of_bigarray : 'a bigarray -> region
create a region sharing a bigarray
Unsafe access
val unsafe_create_region : path:int array -> get_length:('a -> int) -> 'a -> region
unsafe_create_region ~path ~get_length returns a function
to build regions from a specific kind of data abstraction
val unsafe_get_byte : region -> pos:int -> int
val unsafe_set_byte : region -> pos:int -> int -> unit
