C++

EL_CPP_API

C++ API

EL_CPP_BOOLEAN_VECTOR

A vector of boolean values using C++ type std::vector<bool>

Further Information

EL_CPP_ITERATION_CURSOR

Style of C++ iterator that returns a pointer to a list object on each call of cpp_next until finally it returns the NULL pointer to indicate the the 'after' condition.

item is a new wrapper object created from C++ reference cpp_item

EL_CPP_ITERATOR

Generic C++ iterator

EL_CPP_LIST

Iterable list of C++ objects conforming to EL_CPP_OBJECT

EL_CPP_OBJECT

C++ object

EL_CPP_STD_ITERATION_CURSOR

Interface to a C++ iterator based on std::list<T>::const_iterator

Further Information

EL_CPP_STD_LIST

List of items iterable by standard C++ iterators

EL_OWNED_CPP_OBJECT

Owned cpp object

C

EL_C_DATA

C data

EL_IMMOVEABLE

Immoveable

EL_OWNED_C_OBJECT

Owned C object

dynamic

EL_DYNAMIC_MODULE

Defines interface to dynamically load C API.

Further Information

Click on class link to see instructions.

EL_DYNAMIC_MODULE_POINTERS

Dynamic module API function pointers. This class automates the process of assigning shared object (DLL) API function pointers to pointer attributes.

eiffel-callback

EL_CALLBACK_FIXER

Fixes an Eiffel object in memory so that it can be the target of callbacks from a C routine. The garbage collector is prevented from moving it during collect cycles.

Further Information

Click on class link to see instructions.

EL_CALLBACK_FIXER_I

Fixes an Eiffel object in memory so that it can be the target of callbacks from a C routine. The garbage collector is prevented from moving it during collect cycles.

Further Information

Click on class link to see instructions.

EL_C_CALLABLE

Ancestor for classes that are intended to handle callbacks from a C language routine. See also: EL_C_TO_EIFFEL_CALLBACK_STRUCT

Further Information

Click on class link to see instructions and descendants.

EL_C_TO_EIFFEL_CALLBACK_STRUCT

Object with a target callable from C. The target is temporarily fixed in memory and guaranteed not to be moved by the garbage collector.When the gc_protector object is collected it releases the target for collection.

EL_SPECIAL_CALLBACK_FIXER

Fixes an Eiffel object in memory so that it can be the target of callbacks from a C routine. This is same as class EL_CALLBACK_FIXER except it assumes the garbage collector has been disabled.

imp_mswin

EL_C_WIDE_CHARACTER_STRING

Windows compatible UTF-16 wchar_t

EL_SHELL_EXECUTE_C_API

Interface to the ShellExecuteExW function from the Windows Shell API <Shellapi.h>. The 'W' suffix indicates that arguments must be UTF-16 encoded wide strings.

Further Information

imp_unix

EL_C_WIDE_CHARACTER_STRING

Unix compatible UCS-4 wchar_t

string

EL_C_DECODER

C decoder accessible via EL_MODULE_C_DECODER

EL_C_STRING

C string

EL_MODULE_C_DECODER

Shared access to routines of class EL_C_DECODER
