Objective-C Wrapper for CFunctionPointer to a Swift Closure

Question

I am playing with Swift and noticed that Swift does not allow to create CFFunctionPointers. It can only pass around and reference existing ones.

As for example Core

Answer 1

I needed to define this callback:

typedef void (*MIDIReadProc) ( const MIDIPacketList *pktlist, void *readProcRefCon, void *srcConnRefCon );

and I wanted to use Objective-C as least as possible.

This was my approach:

MIDIReadProcCallback.h

#import 
#import 

typedef void (^OnCallback)(const MIDIPacketList *packetList);

@interface MIDIReadProcCallback : NSObject

+ (void (*)(const MIDIPacketList *pktlist, void *readProcRefCon, void *srcConnRefCon))midiReadProc;
+ (void)setOnCallback:(OnCallback)onCallback;

@end

MIDIReadProcCallback.m

#import "MIDIReadProcCallback.h"

static OnCallback _onCallback = nil;

static void readProcCallback(const MIDIPacketList *pktlist, void *refCon, void *connRefCon) {
    if (_onCallback) {
        _onCallback(pktlist);
    }
}

@implementation MIDIReadProcCallback

+ (void (*)(const MIDIPacketList *pktlist, void *readProcRefCon, void *srcConnRefCon))midiReadProc {
    return readProcCallback;
}

+ (void)setOnCallback:(OnCallback)onCallback {
    _onCallback = onCallback;
}

@end

Then you can register MIDIReadProcCallback.midiReadProc as callback and set handler MIDIReadProcCallback.setOnCallback({ (packetList: MIDIPacketList) in ... })
