Enum Class CLinker.TypeKind

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<CLinker.TypeKind>
jdk.incubator.foreign.CLinker.TypeKind
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<CLinker.TypeKind>, Constable
Enclosing interface:
CLinker
public static enum CLinker.TypeKind extends Enum<CLinker.TypeKind>
A C type kind. Each kind corresponds to a particular C language builtin type, and can be attached to ValueLayout instances using the MemoryLayout.withAttribute(String, Constable) in order to obtain a layout which can be classified accordingly by CLinker.downcallHandle(Addressable, MethodType, FunctionDescriptor) and CLinker.upcallStub(MethodHandle, FunctionDescriptor, ResourceScope).
