=head1 NAME
Win32::API::Struct - C struct support package for Win32::API
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Win32::API;
Win32::API::Struct->typedef( 'POINT', qw(
LONG x;
LONG y;
));
my $Point = Win32::API::Struct->new( 'POINT' );
$Point->{x} = 1024;
$Point->{y} = 768;
#### alternatively
tie %Point, 'Win32::API::Struct', 'POINT';
$Point{x} = 1024;
$Point{y} = 768;
=head1 ABSTRACT
This module enables you to define C structs for use with
Win32::API.
See L<Win32::API/USING STRUCTURES> for more info about its usage.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is automatically imported by Win32::API, so you don't
need to 'use' it explicitly. The main methods are C<typedef> and
C<new>, which are documented below.
=over 4
=item C<typedef NAME, TYPE, MEMBER, TYPE, MEMBER, ...>
This method defines a structure named C<NAME>. The definition consists
of types and member names, just like in C. In fact, most of the
times you can cut the C definition for a structure and paste it
verbatim to your script, enclosing it in a C<qw()> block. The
function takes care of removing the semicolon after the member
name. Win32::API::Struct does B<NOT> support Enums, Unions, or Bitfields.
C<NAME> must not end in C<*>, typedef creates structs, not struct pointers.
See L<Win32::API::Type/"typedef">
on how to create a struct pointer type. Returns true on success, and undef on error.
On error it L<warns|perlfunc/warn> with the specific reason.
The synopsis example could be written like this:
Win32::API::Struct->typedef('POINT', 'LONG', 'x', 'LONG', 'y');
But it could also be written like this (note the indirect object
syntax), which is pretty cool:
typedef Win32::API::Struct POINT => qw{
LONG x;
LONG y;
};
L<Win32::API/Call> automatically knows that an 'LPNAME' type, refers
to a 'NAME' type struct. Also see L<Win32::API::Type/"typedef"> on how to declare
pointers to struct types.
Unlike in Win32::API, a single non-array char or CHAR struct member in a
struct is numeric, NOT the first character of a string. UTF16 strings pointers
will be garbage on read back (passing in works, returning doesn't) since
the NULL character will often be the 2nd byte of the UTF16 string.
=item C<new NAME>
This creates a structure (a Win32::API::Struct object) of the
type C<NAME> (it must have been defined with C<typedef>). In Perl,
when you create a structure, all the members are undefined. But
when you use that structure in C (eg. a Win32::API call), you
can safely assume that they will be treated as zero (or NULL).
=item C<sizeof>
This returns the size, in bytes, of the structure. Acts just like
the C function of the same name. It is particularly useful for
structures that need a member to be initialized to the structure's
own size.
=item C<align [SIZE]>
Sets or returns the structure alignment (eg. how the structure is
stored in memory). This is a very advanced option, and you normally
don't need to mess with it.
All structures in the Win32 Platform SDK should work without it.
But if you define your own structure, you may need to give it an
explicit alignment. In most cases, passing a C<SIZE> of 'auto'
should keep the world happy.
=back
=head2 THE C<tie> INTERFACE
Instead of creating an object with the C<new> method, you can
tie a hash, which will hold the desired structure, using the
C<tie> builtin function:
tie %structure, Win32::API::Struct => 'NAME';
The differences between the tied and non-tied approaches are:
=over 4
=item *
with tied structures, you can access members directly as
hash lookups, eg.
# tied # non-tied
$Point{x} vs. $Point->{x}
=item *
with tied structures, when you try to fetch or store a
member that is not part of the structure, it will result
in a warning, eg.
print $Point{z};
# this will warn: 'z' is not a member of Win32::API::Struct POINT
=item *
when you pass a tied structure as a Win32::API parameter,
remember to backslash it, eg.
# tied # non-tied
GetCursorPos( \%Point ) vs. GetCursorPos( $Point )
=back
=head2 FOREIGN MEMORY ALLOCATORS
Using Win32::API::Struct is not recommended in situations where a C function
will return results to you by putting a pointer to a string or a pointer to
another struct into your supplied struct. Win32::API::Struct will do its best
to detect that a new pointer appeared and to read it contents into Perl, but
that pointer will be tossed away after being read. If this pointer is
something you must explicitly free, you have leaked it by using
Win32::API::Struct to decode it. If this pointer is something you must pass back to
the C API you are using, you lost/leaked it. If you pass NULL, or a ::Struct
pointer in a ::Struct to C API, after the C API call, ::Struct will detect the
pointer changed, it will read the new struct from the new pointer into
Perl, and a new child ::Struct will appear in the hash slice
of the parent ::Struct, if you pass this new child ::Struct into the C API
it will be a B<COPY> of the struct the C API from Perl's allocation placed
in the parent ::Struct. For C++-like APIs, this will be unacceptable and lead to
crashes as the C Functions tries to free a memory block that didn't come from the
allocator of the C Function. Windows has many memory allocators, each CRT
(VS 2, 3, 4, 5, NT/6, 7.0, 7.1, 8, 9, 10) malloc, LocalAlloc, GlobalAlloc,
HeapAlloc, (each version of C++ Runtime Library) "new", CoGetMalloc, CoTaskMemAlloc,
NetApiBufferAllocate, VirtualAlloc, CryptMemAlloc, AllocADsMem, SHAlloc,
SnmpUtilMemAlloc. None of these allocators' pointers are compatible with Perl's
allocator. Some C APIs give you static global buffers which never are freed or freed
automatically in the next call to a function from to that DLL.
With foreign allocators, its best to treat to write a pointer class, bless the
ref to scalar integer (holding the pointer) into that class to ensure that the
DESTROY method will free the pointer and you never leak it, and your write
method accessors using L<perlfunc/pack>, L<Win32::API/ReadMemory> and
L<Win32::API/WriteMemory> around the pointer.
