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 <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h>

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 ... })

Answer 2

Well, you can create a function pointer.

var ump = UnsafeMutablePointer<((UnsafePointer<MIDIPacketList>, UnsafeMutablePointer<Void>, UnsafeMutablePointer<Void> ) -> Void)>.alloc(1)
ump.initialize(MyMIDIReadProc)
let cp = COpaquePointer(ump)
let fp = CFunctionPointer<((UnsafePointer<MIDIPacketList>, UnsafeMutablePointer<Void>, UnsafeMutablePointer<Void> ) -> Void)>(cp)

status = MIDIDestinationCreate(midiClient,
        name,
        fp,
etc.

It doesn't work though with Core MIDI.

thread #7: tid = 0x713b7, 0x7a1541f0, stop reason = EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2, address=0x7a1541f0)
frame #0: 0x7a1541f0
frame #1: 0x00159295 CoreMIDI`LocalMIDIReceiverList::HandleMIDIIn(void*, OpaqueMIDIEndpoint*, void*, MIDIPacketList const*) + 117

BTW., you cannot have a bridging header if your MIDI code is in a framework you're writing.
