NAME

FFI::Platypus::Type::GoString - Go String type for Platypus

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

 use FFI::Platypus 1.00;
 
 my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1 );
 $ffi->load_custom_type('::GoString' => 'gostring');
 $ffi->function( some_go_function => [ 'gostring' ] )->call("hello there!");

DESCRIPTION

This Platypus custom types lets you pass strings transparently into Go code without having to create/pass FFI::Go::String types manually. Under the covers FFI::Go::String is used.

The Go language plugin FFI::Platypus::Lang::Go will load this custom type automatically, so probably best to just do this:

 use FFI::Platypus 1.00;
 
 my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1, lang => 'Go' );
 $ffi->function( some_go_function => [ 'gostring' ] )->call("hello there!");

Functions that return a string are not supported, as calling such functions outside of Go are not currently supported.
