=head1 NAME

FFI::C::UnionDef - Union data definition for FFI

=head1 VERSION

version 0.15

=head1 SYNOPSIS

In your C code:

 #include <stdint.h>
 #include <stdio.h>
 
 typedef union {
   uint8_t  u8;
   uint16_t u16;
   uint32_t u32;
 } anyint_t;
 
 void
 print_anyint_as_u32(anyint_t *any)
 {
   printf("0x%x\n", any->u32);
 }

In your Perl code:

 use FFI::Platypus 1.00;
 use FFI::C::UnionDef;
 
 my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1 );
 # See FFI::Platypus::Bundle for how bundle works.
 $ffi->bundle;
 
 my $def = FFI::C::UnionDef->new(
   $ffi,
   name => 'anyint_t',
   class => 'AnyInt',
   members => [
     u8  => 'uint8',
     u16 => 'uint16',
     u32 => 'uint32',
   ],
 );
 
 $ffi->attach( print_anyint_as_u32 => ['anyint_t'] );
 
 my $int = AnyInt->new({ u8 => 42 });
 print_anyint_as_u32($int);  # 0x2a on Intel,

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class creates a def for a C C<union>.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=head2 new

 my $def = FFI::C::UnionDef->new(%opts);
 my $def = FFI::C::UnionDef->new($ffi, %opts);

For standard def options, see L<FFI::C::Def>.

=over 4

=item members

This should be an array reference containing name, type pairs.
For a union, the order doesn't matter.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 create

 my $instance = $def->create;
 my $instance = $def->class->new;          # if class was specified
 my $instance = $def->create(\%init);
 my $instance = $def->class->new(\%init);  # if class was specified

This creates an instance of the C<union>, returns a L<FFI::C::Union>.

You can optionally initialize member values using C<%init>.
