Hello,
Working on creating Cython wrappers for a C library I came across a
strange
problem.
I have in the C library a struct like this:
struct my_jobs;
I also have this function, which returns the next job in the queue:
int my_jobs(struct my_jobs *jobs);
Translating this into Cython and putting this in the .pxd file it looks
like this:
cdef struct my_jobs
int my_jobs(my_jobs *jobs)
During build I'm having issues because it seems that the function
my_jobs()
is translated in a way that it should return a "int struct my_jobs".
The real problem I see is that I cannot have a data type and a function
sharing the same name.
How can I overcome this issue? Suppose that I wrote the C API I could
change that, but how would you really solve this if you cannot touch
what's in upstream?
Any ways to solve this?
This question would be more appropriate on the cython-users mailing list.
Use renaming:
http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/external_C_code.html#resolving-naming-conflicts-c-name-specifications
For example, rename the function:
int my_jobs_func "my_jobs" (my_jobs *jobs)
or the struct:
cdef struct my_jobs_t "my_jobs"
or both.
Best regards,
Nikita Nemkin
