Detailed Description

Functions for defining, managing, and using a registry of named types.

Function Documentation

◆ infix_register_types()

c23_nodiscard infix_status infix_register_types	(	infix_registry_t *	registry,
		const char *	definitions
	)

Parses a string of definitions and populates a type registry.

This function is the primary way to define named types. The definition string is a semicolon-separated list of @Name = <TypeDefinition>; entries.

Parameters

registry	The registry to populate.
definitions	A null-terminated, semicolon-separated string of type definitions.

Returns: INFIX_SUCCESS on success.; INFIX_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the definition string contains a syntax error or attempts to redefine an existing type in the registry.

Parses a string of definitions and populates a type registry.

◆ infix_registry_create()

c23_nodiscard infix_registry_t * infix_registry_create ( void )

Creates a new, empty type registry.

A type registry is a self-contained object that stores named type definitions. These definitions can then be referenced by name (e.g., @Point) in any signature string passed to the library.

Returns: A handle to the new registry, or nullptr if memory allocation fails.

Note: The returned registry must be freed with infix_registry_destroy.

Creates a new, empty type registry.

◆ infix_registry_destroy()

void infix_registry_destroy ( infix_registry_t * registry )

Frees a type registry and all type definitions and metadata contained within it.

Parameters

registry The registry to destroy. Can be nullptr (no-op).

Frees a type registry and all type definitions and metadata contained within it.
