I tried. I suspect that the generator cannot do it but I have to wrap it manually. But I am not sure. Reverse engineering UnifiedFFI did not help yet either. Have to put more time into it. :-)


Best,

Hi, there!

In the #fields method of a new ExternalStructure, how can I express a pointer to another external structure?

First, non-pointer works as expected:
^ #( (other MyStruct) )

Second, this just treats it as a void*, which returns a generic ExternalData:
^ #( (other 'MyStruct*') )

Third, this gives me a debugger:
^ #( (other MyStruct *) )



I don't have the code in front of me but there is the parser you could check ;)

It might be *MyStruct.
