3/* The following abbreviations are used at start of parameter names
4 * to indicate the type of data:
5 * s string (char * or WCHAR *) [PV]
6 * sw wide string (WCHAR *) [PV]
7 * p pointer (usually to some structure) [PV]
8 * a array (packed array as in C) (usually of some structure) [PV]
9 * called a "vector" or "vect" in some places.
10 * n generic number [IV, UV, or NV]
11 * iv signed integral value [IV]
12 * u unsigned integral value [UV]
13 * d floating-point number (double) [NV]
14 * b boolean (bool) [IV]
15 * c count of items [UV]
16 * l length (in bytes) [UV]
17 * lw length in WCHARs [UV]
18 * h a handle [IV]
19 * r record (structure) [PV]
20 * sv Perl scalar (s, i, u, d, n, or rv) [SV]
21 * rv Perl reference (usually to scalar) [RV]
22 * hv reference to Perl hash [HV]
23 * av reference to Perl array [AV]
24 * cv Perl code reference [PVCV]
25 *
26 * Unusual combined types:
27 * pp single pointer (to non-Perl data) packed into string [PV]
28 * pap vector of pointers (to non-Perl data) packed into string [PV]
29 *
30 * Whether a parameter is for input data, output data, or both is usually
31 * not reflected by the data type prefix. In cases where this is not
32 * obvious nor reflected in the variable name proper, you can use
33 * the following in front of the data type prefix:
34 * i an input parameter given to API (usually omitted)
35 * o an Output parameter taken from API
36 * io Input given to API then overwritten with Output taken from API

39/* Buffer arguments are usually followed by an argument (or two) specifying
40 * their size and/or returning the size of data written. The size can be
41 * measured in bytes ["lSize"] or in characters [for (char *) buffers such as
42 * for *A() routines, these sizes are also called "lSize", but are called
43 * "lwSize" for (WCHAR *) buffers, UNICODE strings, such as for *W() routines].
44 *
45 * Before calling the actual C function, you must make sure the Perl variable
46 * actually has a big enough buffer allocated, and, if the user didn't want
47 * to specify a buffer size, set the buffer size to be correct. This is what
48 * the grow_*() macros are for. They also handle special meanings of the
49 * buffer size argument [described below].
50 *
51 * Once the actual C function returns, you must set the Perl variable to know
52 * the size of the written data. This is what the trunc_*() macros are for.
53 *
54 * The size sometimes does and sometimes doesn't include the trailing '\0'
00f02a57 55 * [or L'\0'], so we always add or subtract 1 in the appropriate places so
00701878
SH
56 * we don't care about this detail.
57 *
58 * A call may 1) request a pointer to the buffer size which means that
59 * the buffer size will be overwritten with the size of the data written;
60 * 2) have an extra argument which is a pointer to the place to write the
61 * size of the written data; 3) provide the size of the written data in
62 * the function's return value; 4) format the data so that the length
63 * can be determined by examining the data [such as with '\0'-terminated
64 * strings]; or 5) write fixed-length data [usually sizeof(STRUCT)].
65 * This obviously determines what you should use in the trunc_*() macro
66 # to specify the size of the output value.
67 *
68 * The user can pass in an empty list reference, C<[]>, to indicate C<NULL>
69 * for the pointer to the buffer which means that they don't want that data.
70 *
71 * The user can pass in C<[]> or C<0> to indicate that they don't care about
72 * the buffer size [we aren't programming in C here, after all] and just try
00f02a57 73 * to get the data. This will work if either the buffer already allocated for
00701878
SH
74 * the SV [scalar value] is large enough to hold the data or the API provides
75 * an easy way to determine the required size [and the XS code uses it].
76 *
77 * If the user passes in a numeric value for a buffer size, then the XS
78 * code makes sure that the buffer is at least large enough to hold a value
79 * of that size and then passes in how large the buffer is. So the buffer
80 * size passed to the API call is the larger of the size requested by the
81 * user and the size of the buffer aleady allocated to the SV.
82 *
83 * The user can also pass in a string consisting of a leading "=" followed
84 * by digits for a buffer size. This means just use the size specified after
85 * the equals sign, even if the allocated buffer is larger. The XS code will
86 * still allocate a large enough buffer before the first call.
87 *
88 * If the function is nice enough to tell us that a buffer was too small
89 * [usually via ERROR_MORE_DATA] _and_ how large the buffer needs to be,
90 * then the XS code should enlarge the buffer(s) and repeat the call [once].
91 * This resizing is _not_ done for buffers whose size was specified with a
92 * leading "=".
93 *
94 * Only grow_buf() and perhaps trunc_buf() can be used in a typemap file.
95 * The other macros would be used in the parameter declarations or INPUT:
96 * section [grow_*()], the INIT: section [init_*()], or the OUTPUT: section
97 * [trunc_*()].
98 *
00f02a57 99 * Buffer arguments should be initialised with C<= NO_INIT> [or C<= NULL;>].
00701878
SH
100 *
101 * See also the F<typemap> file. C<oDWORD>, for example, is for an output-
102 * only parameter of type C<DWORD> and you should simply C<#define> it to be
103 * C<DWORD>. In F<typemap>, C<oDWORD> is treated differently than C<DWORD>
104 * in two ways.
105 *
106 * First, if C<undef> is passed in, a C<DWORD> could generate a warning
107 * when it gets converted to 0 while C<oDWORD> will never generate such a
108 * warning for C<undef>. This first difference doesn't apply if specific
109 * initialization is specified for the variable, as in C<= init_buf_l($var);>.
110 * In particular, the init_*() macros also convert C<undef> to 0 without
111 * ever producing a warning.
112 *
113 * Second, passing in a read-only SV for a C<oDWORD> parameter will generate
114 * a fatal error on output when we try to update the SV. For C<DWORD>, we
115 * won't update a read-only SV since passing in a literal constant for a
116 * buffer size is a useful thing to do even though it prevents us from
117 * returning the size of data written via that SV. Since we should use a
118 * trunc_*() macro to output the actual data, the user should be able to
119 * determine the size of data written based on the size of the scalar we
120 * output anyway.
121 *
00f02a57 122 * This second difference doesn't apply unless the parameter is listed in
00701878 123 * the OUTPUT: section without specific output instructions. We define
00f02a57 124 * no macros for outputting buffer length parameters so be careful to use
00701878
SH
125 * C<oDWORD> [for example] for them if and only if they are output-only.
126 *
127 * Note that C<oDWORD> is the same as C<DWORD> in that, if a defined value
128 * is passed in, it is used [and can generate a warning if the value is
129 * "not numeric"]. So although C<oDWORD> is for output-only parameters,
130 * we still initialize the C variable before calling the API. This is good
131 * in case the parameter isn't always strictly output-only due to upgrades,
132 * bugs, etc.
133 *
134 * Here is a made-up example that shows several cases:
135 *
136 * # Actual GetDataW() returns length of data written to ioswName, not bool.
137 * bool
138 * GetDataW( ioswName, ilwName, oswText, iolwText, opJunk, opRec, ilRec, olRec )
139 * WCHAR * ioswName = NO_INIT
140 * DWORD ilwName = NO_INIT
141 * WCHAR * oswText = NO_INIT
142 * DWORD &iolwText = init_buf_l($arg);
143 * void * opJunk = NO_INIT
144 * BYTE * opRec = NO_INIT
145 * DWORD ilRec = init_buf_l($arg);
146 * oDWORD &olRec
147 * PREINIT:
148 * DWORD olwName;
149 * INIT:
150 * grow_buf_lw( ioswName,ST(0), ilwName,ST(1) );
151 * grow_buf_lw( oswText,ST(2), iolwText,ST(3) );
152 * grow_buf_typ( opJunk,ST(4),void *, LONG_STRUCT_TYPEDEF );
153 * grow_buf_l( opRec,ST(5),BYTE *, ilRec,ST(6) );
154 * CODE:
155 * olwName= GetDataW( ioswName, ilwName, oswText, &iolwText,
156 * (LONG_STRUCT_TYPEDEF *)opJunk, opRec, &iolRec );
157 * if( 0 == olwName && ERROR_MORE_DATA == GetLastError()
158 * && ( autosize(ST(1)) || autosize(ST(3)) || autosize(ST(6)) ) ) {
159 * if( autosize(ST(1)) )
160 * grow_buf_lw( ioswName,ST(0), ilwName,ST(1) );
161 * if( autosize(ST(3)) )
162 * grow_buf_lw( oswText,ST(2), iolwText,ST(3) );
163 * if( autosize(ST(6)) )
164 * grow_buf_l( opRec,ST(5),BYTE *, iolRec,ST(6) );
165 * olwName= GetDataW( ioswName, ilwName, oswText, &iolwText,
166 * (LONG_STRUCT_TYPEDEF *)opJunk, opRec, &iolRec );
167 * }
168 * RETVAL= 0 != olwName;
169 * OUTPUT:
170 * RETVAL
171 * ioswName trunc_buf_lw( RETVAL, ioswName,ST(0), olwName );
172 * oswText trunc_buf_lw( RETVAL, oswText,ST(2), iolwText );
173 * iolwText
174 * opJunk trunc_buf_typ(RETVAL,opJunk,ST(4),LONG_STRUCT_TYPEDEF);
175 * opRec trunc_buf_l( RETVAL, opRec,ST(5), olRec );
176 * olRec
177 *
178 * The above example would be more complex and less efficient if we used
179 * C<DWORD * iolwText> in place of C<DWORD &iolwText>. The only possible
180 * advantage would be that C<NULL> would be passed in for C<iolwText> if
181 * _both_ C<$oswText> and C<$iolwText> were specified as C<[]>. The *_pl*()
182 * macros are defined [and C<DWORD *> specified in F<typemap>] so we can
183 * handle those cases but it is usually better to use the *_l*() macros
184 * instead by specifying C<&> instead of C<*>. Using C<&> instead of C<*>
185 * is usually better when dealing with scalars, even if they aren't buffer
186 * sizes. But you must use C<*> if it is important for that parameter to
187 * be able to pass C<NULL> to the underlying API.
188 *
189 * In Win32API::, we try to use C<*> for buffer sizes of optional buffers
190 * and C<&> for buffer sizes of required buffers.
191 *
192 * For parameters that are pointers to things other than buffers or buffer
193 * sizes, we use C<*> for "important" parameters [so that using C<[]>
194 * generates an error rather than fetching the value and just throwing it
195 * away], and for optional parameters [in case specifying C<NULL> is or
196 * becomes important]. Otherwise we use C<&> [for "unimportant" but
197 * required parameters] so the user can specify C<[]> if they don't care
198 * about it. The output handle of an "open" routine is "important".
