Subject: [Caml-list] Interfacing C with Ocaml
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2004 15:31:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200407151531.22817.flute@noos.fr> (raw)

Hello,

I'am using ocamlidl to build an interface from custom C header but I have some 
problems (sorry if they are trivial)...

First, the following opaque structure definition doesn't pass the compilation 
stage (dereferencing pointer to incomplete type) :
typedef struct foo toto;
I thought this appens because C compiler doesn't know the size of foo 
structure. I tryed to define my own ml2c and c2ml functions (avoiding the 
problem by using pointers toto*) but I don't see how i can convert C pointer 
to Caml value...

Second, I have to give an IDL description of this awful thing...
typedef int (*foo_fun)(void*, int, char**, char**);
... and I really don't see how to do that.

Is anyone can help me? Thanks a lot :)

Julien Blond
