Using SWIG with pointer to function in C struct
I'm trying to write a SWIG wrapper for a C library that uses pointer开发者_Go百科s to functions in its structs. I can't figure out how to handle structs that contain function pointers. A simplified example follows.
test.i:
/* test.i */
%module test
%{
typedef struct {
int (*my_func)(int);
} test_struct;
int add1(int n) { return n+1; }
test_struct *init_test()
{
test_struct *t = (test_struct*) malloc(sizeof(test_struct));
t->my_func = add1;
}
%}
typedef struct {
int (*my_func)(int);
} test_struct;
extern test_struct *init_test();

>>> import test
>>> t = test.init_test()
>>> t
<test.test_struct; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'test_struct *' at 0xa1cafd0> >
>>> t.my_func
<Swig Object of type 'int (*)(int)' at 0xb8009810>
>>> t.my_func(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'PySwigObject' object is not callable
Anyone know if it's possible to get t.my_func(1) to return 2?
Thanks!
I found an answer. If I declare the function pointer as a SWIG "member function", it seems to work as expected:
%module test
%{
typedef struct {
int (*my_func)(int);
} test_struct;
int add1(int n) { return n+1; }
test_struct *init_test()
{
test_struct *t = (test_struct*) malloc(sizeof(test_struct));
t->my_func = add1;
return t;
}
%}
typedef struct {
int my_func(int);
} test_struct;
extern test_struct *init_test();

I was hoping for something that wouldn't require writing any custom SWIG-specific code (I'd prefer to just "%include" my headers without modification), but this will do I guess.
You forget to "return t;" in init_test():
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct {
int (*my_func)(int);
} test_struct;
int add1(int n) { return n+1; }
test_struct *init_test(){
test_struct *t = (test_struct*) malloc(sizeof(test_struct));
t->my_func = add1;
return t;
}
int main(){
test_struct *s=init_test();
printf( "%i\n", s->my_func(1) );
}
