Structure
TypeReference
Reference to a GIR type.
struct TypeReferenceTopics
Initializers
Designated initialiser for a type reference
Instance Properties
Array of pointers (true if they are const, false if they are mutable)
returns the force-unwrapped, full type name
returns the full C type including pointers and const
returns the full Swift type (e.g. class) including pointers and taking into account const
returns the full type including pointers and taking into account const
returns the full C type including pointers and taking into account const
The identifier of this instance
Return the idiomatic Swift type for a given type reference
The level of indirection, with 0 indicating the referenced type itself, 1 representing a pointer to an instance of the referenced type, 2 representing an array of pointers (or a pointer to a pointer), etc.
Whether or not the referenced type is an array
Whether or not the referenced type is const
Whether or not the referenced type is optional (nullable)
Returns true if the receiver is a reference to void
The level of indirection, taking into account known types such as gpointer with 0 indicating the referenced type itself, 1 representing a pointer to an instance of the referenced type, 2 representing an array of pointers (or a pointer to a pointer), etc.
Return an indirectionLevel offset if the type in question is a known pointer
The namespace for this instance
The type referenced
Return the underlying type (e.g. class or primitive C type) for a given type reference
