cwrappers.go uses *C.void instead of unsafe.Pointer
The Go equivalent to C's void*
type is unsafe.Pointer
, and the cgo tool automatically wraps functions that accept or return void*
to accept or return unsafe.Pointer
instead.
cwrappers.go
currently includes some functions that accept *C.void
arguments, but none of them are actually called. If they were, you would likely find that the call sites require two conversions (to unsafe.Pointer
and then to *C.void
) where they should need only one (to unsafe.Pointer
).
