Class BindingsBase

Provides a common foundation for all flat API bindings and implements the extension loading interface.

Syntax

public abstract class BindingsBase

Constructors

BindingsBase()

Constructs a new BindingsBase instance.

Declaration

public BindingsBase()

Properties

RebuildExtensionList

Gets or sets a System.Boolean that indicates whether the list of supported extensions may have changed.

Declaration

protected bool RebuildExtensionList { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

SyncRoot

Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the bindings implementation.

Declaration

protected abstract object SyncRoot { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Object

Remarks

This object should be unique across bindings but consistent between bindings of the same type. For example, ES10.GL, OpenGL.GL and CL10.CL should all return unique objects, but all instances of ES10.GL should return the same object.

Methods

FreeStringArrayPtr(IntPtr, Int32)

Frees a marshalled string that allocated by MarshalStringArrayToPtr.

Declaration

protected static void FreeStringArrayPtr(IntPtr ptr, int length)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.IntPtr	ptr	An unmanaged pointer allocated with MarshalStringArrayToPtr
System.Int32	length	The length of the string array.

FreeStringPtr(IntPtr)

Frees a marshalled string that allocated by MarshalStringToPtr.

Declaration

protected static void FreeStringPtr(IntPtr ptr)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.IntPtr	ptr	An unmanaged pointer allocated with MarshalStringToPtr

GetAddress(String)

Retrieves an unmanaged function pointer to the specified function.

Declaration

protected abstract IntPtr GetAddress(string funcname)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	funcname	A System.String that defines the name of the function.

Returns

Type	Description
System.IntPtr	A System.IntPtr that contains the address of funcname or IntPtr.Zero, if the function is not supported by the drivers.

Remarks

Note: some drivers are known to return non-zero values for unsupported functions. Typical values include 1 and 2 - inheritors are advised to check for and ignore these values.

MarshalPtrToString(IntPtr)

Marshals a pointer to a null-terminated byte array to a new System.String. This method supports OpenTK and is not intended to be called by user code.

Declaration

protected static string MarshalPtrToString(IntPtr ptr)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.IntPtr	ptr	A pointer to a null-terminated byte array.

Returns

Type	Description
System.String	A System.String with the data from ptr.

MarshalStringArrayToPtr(String[])

Marshals a System.String array to unmanaged memory by calling Marshal.AllocHGlobal for each element.

Declaration

protected static IntPtr MarshalStringArrayToPtr(string[] str_array)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String[]	str_array	The string array to marshal.

Returns

Type	Description
System.IntPtr	An unmanaged pointer to an array of null-terminated strings

MarshalStringToPtr(String)

Marshal a System.String to unmanaged memory. The resulting string is encoded in UTF8 and must be freed with FreeStringPtr.

Declaration

protected static IntPtr MarshalStringToPtr(string str)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	str	The System.String to marshal.

Returns

Type	Description
System.IntPtr	An unmanaged pointer containing the marshalled string. This pointer must be freed with FreeStringPtr
