NET:LavishVMAPI.LavishVM.GetAPI

Overview

For use with bootstrapped API, retrieves the function pointer to an API function. The function pointer may then be marshaled into a delegate instance.

Reference Library

Lavish.InnerSpace.dll

Fully Qualified Name

LavishVMAPI.LavishVM.GetAPI

• LavishVMAPI namespace
  • LavishVM class
    • GetAPI function

Declaration

static public IntPtr GetAPI(string Library, string Name, uint Version);

Parameters

• string Library

Name of the registered library containing the API function

• string Name

Name of the API function

• uint Version

Version number of the API function

Return Value

• IntPtr

Function pointer to the retrieved API, or int value 0 if the API could not be retrieved

Examples

C#

This is the stub used for InnerSpace.Echo, which retrieves the API and calls through if the function is available, additionally replacing the delegate that points to the stub such that additional calls will go straight to the API.

static public void Echo(string Output)
{
    IntPtr Address = LavishVM.GetAPI("Inner Space", "Echo", 1);
    if (Address.ToInt32() == 0)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(Output);
        return;
    }
    InnerSpace.Echo = (InnerSpaceAPI.Delegates.Echo)Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer(Address, typeof(InnerSpaceAPI.Delegates.Echo));
    InnerSpace.Echo(Output);
}
