libretro.ctypes

Type annotations for ctypes behavior that is documented but missing from its type stubs.

Most of these definitions fall back to standard ctypes types at runtime; this allows them to be used as drop-in replacements for the standard types in function signatures.

Module Attributes

CBoolArg	A type that can be used as an argument for a C c_bool parameter.
CIntArg	A type that can be used as an argument for a C integer parameter.
CFloatArg	A type that can be used as an argument for a C floating-point parameter.
CStringArg	A type that can be used as an argument for a C char * parameter.

Classes

AsParameter	A type that can be converted to a ctypes object with the _as_parameter_ property.
CFloatArg	A type that can be used as an argument for a C floating-point parameter.
CIntArg	A type that can be used as an argument for a C integer parameter.
Pointer
TypedFunctionPointer
TypedPointer
c_void_ptr	A trivial subclass of c_void_p that solely exists to prevent ctypes from implicitly converting void* parameters or struct fields to an int.

class c_void_ptr

Bases: c_void_p

A trivial subclass of c_void_p that solely exists to prevent ctypes from implicitly converting void* parameters or struct fields to an int.

Use this in function signatures and struct definitions instead of c_void_p.
