Class ShortByReference

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, ByReference<Short>

public final class ShortByReference extends AbstractNumberReference<Short>
ShortByReference is used when the address of a primitive short value must be passed as a parameter to a function.

For example, the following C code,

 
 extern void get_a(short * ap);

 short foo(void) {
     short a;
     // pass a reference to 'a' so get_a() can fill it out
     get_a(&a);

     return a;
 }
 
 

Would be declared in java as

 
 interface Lib {
     void get_a(@Out ShortByReference ap);
 }
 
 

and used like this

 ShortByReference ap = new ShortByReference();
 lib.get_a(ap);
 System.out.printf("a from lib=%d\n", a.getValue());
