Library IMPORT guidelines?

[bu2b]

Could someone give me a brief rundown on importing library functions into Bacon?

What types etc can and can't, for instance, how would I handle a function that returns a structure i.e.:


typedef struct __MHASH_INSTANCE
{
mutils_word32 hmac_key_size;
mutils_word32 hmac_block;
mutils_word8 *hmac_key;

mutils_word8 *state;
mutils_word32 state_size;
hashid algorithm_given;

HASH_FUNC hash_func;
FINAL_FUNC final_func;
DEINIT_FUNC deinit_func;
} MHASH_INSTANCE;

typedef MHASH_INSTANCE *MHASH;

** The library function

MHASH td;

td = mhash_init(MHASH_MD5);


Thanks.

Hi bu2b,

If a function returns a C struct then a regular import is not possible, unless you want to start hacking around with the USEC statement.

A similar discussion is at this post.
