Method: Fiddle::CParser#parse_signature

Defined in:
lib/fiddle/cparser.rb

#parse_signature(signature, tymap = nil) ⇒ Object

Parses a C prototype signature

If Hash tymap is provided, the return value and the arguments from the signature are expected to be keys, and the value will be the C type to be looked up.

Example:

include Fiddle::CParser
  #=> Object

parse_signature('double sum(double, double)')
  #=> ["sum", Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE, [Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE, Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE]]
