[Swig-user] Callbacks from C into Java

[Maarten B. <boe...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I need to do the following:

1. In Java, create a class instance with method run()
2. Pass a reference to this run() method to a C function
3. Other C-functions will try to execute run()

i.e. a classical callback scenario. I've seen the documentation on directors
for C++ but I have not found any actual example on how to do this in pure C.

I did find the following comment on this mailing list from 2007: "then write
a small global *C*++ *callback* function with *C*  linkage". However I'm not
really sure what that would look like. Would it be possible for somebody to
(for example) convert swig-examples/java/callback into pure C?

Kind regards, Maarten
