NAME

       FFI::Platypus::Closure - Platypus closure object

VERSION

       version 2.05

SYNOPSIS

       create closure with OO interface

        use FFI::Platypus::Closure;
        my $closure = FFI::Platypus::Closure->new(sub { print "hello world\n" });

       create closure from Platypus object

        use FFI::Platypus 2.00;
        my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 2 );
        my $closure = $ffi->closure(sub { print "hello world\n" });

       use closure

        $ffi->function(foo => ['()->void'] => 'void')->call($closure);

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents a Perl code reference that can be called from compiled code.  When
       you create a closure object, you can pass it into any function that expects a function
       pointer.  Care needs to be taken with closures because compiled languages typically have a
       different way of handling lifetimes of objects.  You have to make sure that if the
       compiled code is going to call a closure that the closure object is still in scope
       somewhere, or has been made sticky, otherwise you may get a segment violation or other
       mysterious crash.

CONSTRUCTOR

   new
        my $closure = FFI::Platypus::Closure->new($coderef);

       Create a new closure object; $coderef must be a subroutine code reference.

METHODS

   call
        $closure->call(@arguments);
        $closure->(@arguments);

       Call the closure from Perl space.  May also be invoked by treating the closure object as a
       code reference.

   sticky
        $closure->sticky;

       Mark the closure sticky, meaning that it won't be free'd even if all the reference of the
       object fall out of scope.

   unstick
        $closure->unstick;

       Unmark the closure as sticky.
