=head1 NAME

FFI::C::Util - Utility functions for dealing with structured C data

=head1 VERSION

version 0.15

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use FFI::C::Util qw( perl_to_c take );
 use FFI::C::StructDef;
 use FFI::Platypus::Memory qw( free );
 
 my $def = FFI::C::StructDef->new(
   members => [
     x => 'uint8',
     y => 'sint64',
   ],
 );
 my $inst = $def->create;
 
 # initialize members
 perl_to_c($inst, { x => 1, y => 2 });
 
 # take ownership
 my $ptr = take $inst;
 
 # since we took ownership, we are responsible for freeing the memory:
 free $ptr;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides some useful utility functions for dealing with
the various def instances provided by L<FFI::C>

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 perl_to_c

 perl_to_c $instance, \%values;  # for Struct/Union
 perl_to_c $instance, \@values;  # for Array

This function initializes the members of an instance.

=head2 c_to_perl

 my $perl = c_to_perl $instance;

This function takes an instance and returns the nested members as Perl data structures.

=head2 owned

 my $bool = owned $instance;

Returns true of the C<$instance> owns its allocated memory.  That is,
it will free up the allocated memory when it falls out of scope.
Reasons an instance might not be owned are:

=over 4

=item the instance is nested inside another object that owns the memory

=item the instance was returned from a C function that owns the memory

=item ownership was taken away by the C<take> function below.

=back

=head2 take

 my $ptr = take $instance;

This function takes ownership of the instance pointer, and returns
the opaque pointer.  This means a couple of things:

=over 4

=item C<$instance> will not free its data automatically

You should call C<free> on it manually to free the memory it is using.

=item C<$instance> cannot be used anymore

So don't try to get/set any of its members, or pass it into a function.

=back

The returned pointer can be cast into something else or passed into
a function that takes an C<opaque> argument.

=head2 addressof

[version 0.11]

 my $ptr = addressof $instance;

This function returns the address (as an C<opaque> type) of the
instance object.  This is similar to C<take> above in that it gets
you the address of the object, but doesn't take ownership of it,
so care needs to be taken when using C<$ptr> that the object
is still allocated.

=head2 set_array_count

 set_array_count $inst, $count;

This function sets the element count on a variable array returned from
C (where normally there is no way to know from just the return value).
If you try to set a count on a non-array or a fixed sized array an
exception will be thrown.
