FFI::cast
(PHP 7 >= 7.4.0, PHP 8)
FFI::cast — Performs a C type cast
Beschreibung
FFI::cast() creates a new FFI\CData
object, that references the same C data structure, but is associated with a different type.
The resulting object does not own the C data, and the source ptr
must survive the result. The C type may be specified as a string with any
valid C type declaration or as FFI\CType object, created before.
If this method is called statically, it must only use predefined C type names (e.g.
int, char, etc.); if the method is called as
instance method, any type declared for the instance is allowed.
Parameter-Liste
-
type -
A valid C declaration as string, or an instance of FFI\CType which has already been created.
-
ptr -
The handle of the pointer to a C data structure.
Rückgabewerte
Returns the freshly created FFI\CData object.
