Get the master C-to-FFI type mapping

Source: R/header_parsing_codegen.R
get_ffi_type_map.Rd

Returns a named character vector mapping C type names to FFI type constructor calls. This is the single source of truth for type mappings used across all code generation functions (struct, union, typedef, function wrappers).

Usage

get_ffi_type_map()

Value

Named character vector: names are C types, values are FFI constructor calls

Details

Includes:

  • Standard C types (char, int, long, etc.)

  • Fixed-width types (int8_t, uint32_t, etc.)

  • POSIX types (size_t, ssize_t, off_t, pid_t, etc.)

  • glibc/musl internal types (__ssize_t, __pid_t, etc.)

  • macOS/Darwin types (__darwin_size_t, etc.)

  • BSD types (u_int32_t, register_t, etc.)

  • Windows/MSYS2/MinGW types (DWORD, HANDLE, __int64, etc.)

  • Clang/LLVM builtin types (SIZE_TYPE, etc.)
