Toll-free bridging and pointer access in Swift

Question

I am porting an App from Objective-C to Swift and I need to use the following method:

CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost(alloc: CFAllocator!, host: CFString!         


        

Answer 1

I am using getStreamsToHostWithName function of NSStream class. It is more easy and beeter than CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost

func initNetworkCommunication() {

print("connecting...")

let serverAddress = "gzoa.vps.infomaniak.com"
let serverPort = 1234

NSStream.getStreamsToHostWithName(serverAddress, port: serverPort, inputStream: &inputStream, outputStream: &outputStream)

self.inputStream!.delegate = self
self.outputStream!.delegate = self

self.inputStream!.scheduleInRunLoop(NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop(), forMode: NSDefaultRunLoopMode)
self.outputStream!.scheduleInRunLoop(NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop(), forMode: NSDefaultRunLoopMode)

self.inputStream!.open()
self.outputStream!.open()

}
