All Known Implementing Classes:

NativeArray, NativeBuffer, NativeByte, NativeLong, NativeNumber, NativeObject, NativePrimitive, NativeReference, NativeShort, NativeString, NativeStruct, NativeVoid

public interface INativeObject

The Java object representation of a c memory construct.

The INativeObject has a reference to c memory (the INativeHandle and "marshalling" methods "getValue" and "setValue" to get and set the Java representation.

Method Summary

byte[]	getBytes() The bytes that make up the INativeObject.
INativeHandle	getNativeHandle() The INativeHandle to the c memory for the object.
Object	getValue() A Java side representation from the memory.
void	setValue(Object value) Assign (and marshall to memory) the Java side representation.

getNativeHandle

The INativeHandle to the c memory for the object.

Returns:

getValue

Object getValue()

A Java side representation from the memory.

Returns:

A Java side representation for the INativeObject.

setValue

void setValue(Object value)
