It is useful to support raw bindings from external C modules returning raw memory areas, or requiring raw memory areas to be passed to them. </p> <p class="faldoc_text">In Falcon, raw memory pointers are just represented as 64-bit integers, eventually cast down to proper sizes on different architectures. In short, they are integers that can be directly modified by the Falcon script and fed in the library. </p> <p class="faldoc_text">Messing with functions in this group is the fastest and safest way to find troubles. Avoid them unless it is necessary to deal with raw pointers coming from outer bindings. </p> </p> <h2 class="faldoc_title">Contents</h2> <table class="faldoc_list"> <tr><td class="faldoc_funcname"><a href="./functions.html#MemBufFromPtr">MemBufFromPtr</a></td><td class="faldoc_funcbrief">Creates a memory buffer to store raw memory coming from external providers. </td></tr> </table> <hr/> <div class="navibottom"> <center> <a href="./index.html">Main</a> - <a href="./pages.html">Related pages</a> - <a href="./groups.html">Groups</a> - <a href="./funset.html">Function sets</a> - <a href="./classes.html">Classes</a> - <a href="./objects.html">Objects</a> - <a href="./functions.html">All functions</a> - <a href="./globals.html">Globals</a> </center> </div> </div> <div class="faldoc_signature">Made with <a href="http://www.falconpl.org">faldoc 2.2.0</div> </body> </html>
