so i do the following
public static class test_callback_data extends Structure { public int type;
public UNION_callback_data callback_data;
//use or override Structure.useMemory here??
}
public static class UNION_callback_data extends PointerType { public test__DATA test_data; public test_XX_DATA data;
}
new CALLBACK() { int callback(test_callback_data data) {
//use Structure.useMemory here??
System.out.println("my data "+test_callback_data data.callback_data.test_XX_DATA); } }
but i dont find out where to extract the appropriate Structure type and how to use (or to override) the useMemory(Pointer) method.
Sorry, but i'am new to JNA.
Thanks Hendrik

You can omit the union altogether and just make it a Pointer field, then manually extract the appropriate Structure type and use STructure.useMemory with the pointer field.
That's probably easier than coming up with a more complex solution that uses Union.

Timothy,
thank, thats it, great.
But unfortunately i also have to use setType() in the constructor of my union, because if i use it not all is null. The problem is now, that the union is instantiated by the callback and so i have no chance to issue a setType (before data gets written to the union) to choose the right field.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance Hendrik

Your union members need to be pointer types. By default structure types are inlined when nested, so you must use Pointer or implement StructureByReference when used as a structure field.

Hello again,
is it correct to map a C Union
C:
typedef struct test_callback_data { unsigned int type;
union specific_data {
test__DATA *test_data; test_XX_DATA *data; } callback_data;
} test_CALLBACK_DATA;
to Java using JNA in that way:
Java:
public static class test_callback_data extends Structure { public int type; public UNION_callback_data callback_data; }
public static class UNION_callback_data extends Union {
public test__DATA test_data; public test_XX_DATA data;
}
public interface CALLBACK extends com.sun.jna.Callback { int callback(test_callback_data data); }
The Union is filled by a callback function. The instance fields are then always 0 or null, so i guess they get not properly initialised. How to use the setType(Class clazz) method in/with the Union? Should i use or override the method?
Environment: Linux i386, JNA 3.0.5, Sun JDK 1.5
Thanks Hendrik
