SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use FFI::C::StructDef;
my $def = FFI::C::StructDef->new(
  name  => 'color_t',
  class => 'Color',
  members => [
    red   => 'uint8',
    green => 'uint8',
    blue  => 'uint8',
  ],
);
my $red = $def->create({ red => 255 });    # creates a FFI::C::Stuct
printf "[%02x %02x %02x]\n", $red->red, $red->green, $red->blue;  # [ff 00 00]
# that red is too bright!
$red->red(200);
printf "[%02x %02x %02x]\n", $red->red, $red->green, $red->blue;  # [c8 00 00]
my $green = Color->new({ green => 255 });  # creates a FFI::C::Stuct
printf "[%02x %02x %02x]\n", $green->red, $green->green, $green->blue;  # [00 ff 00]
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This class represents an instance of a C struct. This class can be created using new on the generated class, if that was specified for the FFI::C::StructDef, or by using the create method on FFI::C::StructDef.

For each member defined in the FFI::C::StructDef there is an accessor for the FFI::C::Struct instance.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

            

              
              
FFI::C::StructDef->new( class => 'User::Struct::Class', ... );
my $instance = User::Struct::Class->new;
