[Swig-user] Help Typemap:: ruby or perl

[Sebastian Y. F. <seb...@ye...>]

Hi all,

I have been trying to make use of a C library in perl or ruby, but i just
can't get the typemap's to work correctly for this situation.
I have readed the all the documentation and searched all over the iNet, and
now its time to ask for some help ;)

I just want to use the C library in perl or ruby as naturally as possible
(without the use of the messy functions of cpointer.i)

- My problem is with the 'typedef void * data' data type, i can't use any of
the predefined typemaps because they don't work with the type void...


C Library::
-----------------------------
typedef void * data;

extern int data_create(int type, data *info );                         //
Create the data structure of the type 'type'
extern int data_insert(data info, int type, const char *string ); // Insert
data into the data structure.
extern int data_read(data info );                                        //
Read/Print data inside of the data structure.
-----------------------------


Use in perl (or ruby):: (Example the usage, i want to accomplice)
-----------------------------
($rc, $info) = &data_create(4);              // Make the swig typemap return
the rc and the data structure.. 

$rc = &data_insert($info,4,"Testing...");  // Inserting some string..

$rc = &data_read($info);                      // Reading the data in $info
-----------------------------

- Can some one please help me out with some examples on how the typemaps
should be to make the functions: data_create, data_insert and data_read work
like in the above example code..




Thanks in advanced for any help..
