def CUnionEntity.malloc(types, func=nil)
  addr = DL.malloc(CUnionEntity.size(types))
  CUnionEntity.new(addr, types, func)
end

.size(types) ⇒ Object

Given types, returns the size needed for the union.

DL::CUnionEntity.size([DL::TYPE_DOUBLE, DL::TYPE_INT, DL::TYPE_CHAR,
                       DL::TYPE_VOIDP])
=> 8
