Generate C wrappers for inline functions about clang.jl HOT 7 CLOSED

static aren't private in that the function isn't intended to be used by the user. It just mean that the function won't be part of the ABI of the library but is otherwise fully usable by the user.

Using that, however, always require the equivalence of a C compiler, and that's not in the current scope of Clang.jl.

HI @ihnorton ,

any news on this?

I would like to automatically wrap some headers that contain static inline functions and I don't know where to start. Now I'm checked if isinlined() to ignore them ... but is not what I want.

How can I deal with static inline functions? are currently supported?

Thanks in advance!

@victorsndvg wrapping C++ libraries are not supported, please try Cxx.jl(only support Julia-v1.3- for now) instead.

@Gnimuc , in thiscase I'm dealing with a C library with inlined functions, not C++ library.

Such functions are inlined and implemented in headers, see the example hear:
https://github.com/cburstedde/libsc/blob/7089d44934f34b60d6f63dded2cf774eebbfe1c9/src/sc_containers.h#L458

The compiled library does not contain those symbols. How can I call them or wrapp them from julia? is it possible?

from clang.jl.

In C, static marks that function to be "private", which means the library author doesn't allow users to use it intentionally. If you'd like to walk around that, I think you could always add a wrapper C function with the same signature and recompile.

For this particular function, it looks like it just does some basic pointer arithmetics, maybe you could use Julia's unsafe_load/unsafe_wrap to implement the same functionality.

Ok @Gnimuc , I think I caught how to deal with it.

Thanks for your quick response. It has been very helpful!

from clang.jl.

Yeah, I understand @yuyichao .

Then I would like to know whether a declaration is static or not from Clang.jl, is this possible?
I can check if it isinlined, but I don't see any function similar to isstatic.

Very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
