SYNOPSIS

package FFI::Platypus::Type::MyCustomType;

use FFI::Platypus::API;

sub ffi_custom_type_api_1
{
{
native_type => 'uint32',
perl_to_native => sub {
my($value, $i) = @_;
# Translates ($value) passed in from Perl
# into ($value+1, $value+2)
arguments_set_uint32($i, $value+1);
arguments_set_uint32($i+1, $value+2);
},
argument_count => 2,
}
}

DESCRIPTION

The custom types API for FFI::Platypus allows you to set multiple C arguments from a single Perl argument as a common type. This is sometimes useful for pointer / size pairs which are a common pattern in C, but are usually represented by a single value (a string scalar) in Perl.

The custom type API is somewhat experimental, and you should expect some changes as needs arise (I won't break compatibility lightly, however).
