Constructor Details

#initialize(return_type, param_types, options = {}) {|i| ... } ⇒ self #initialize(return_type, param_types, proc, options = {}) ⇒ self

A new Function instance.

Define a function from a Proc or a block.

Overloads:

  • #initialize(return_type, param_types, options = {}) {|i| ... } ⇒ self

    Yield Parameters:

    • i

      parameters for the function

  • #initialize(return_type, param_types, proc, options = {}) ⇒ self

    Parameters:

    • proc (Proc)

Parameters:

  • return_type (Type, Symbol)

    return type for the function

  • param_types (Array<Type, Symbol>)

    array of parameters types

  • options (Hash)

    see FFI::FunctionType for available options
