=head1 NAME

FFI::Platypus::Type::PointerSizeBuffer - Convert string scalar to a buffer as a pointer / size_t combination

=head1 VERSION

version 1.31

=head1 SYNOPSIS

In your C code:

void
 function_with_buffer(void *pointer, size_t size)
 {
   ...
 }

In your Platypus::FFI code:

use FFI::Platypus;
 
 my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1 );
 $ffi->load_custom_type('::PointerSizeBuffer' => 'buffer');
 
 $ffi->attach(function_with_buffer => ['buffer'] => 'void');
 my $string = "content of buffer";
 function_with_buffer($string);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A common pattern in C code is to pass in a region of memory as a buffer,
consisting of a pointer and a size of the memory region.  In Perl,
string scalars also point to a contiguous series of bytes that has a
size, so when interfacing with C libraries it is handy to be able to
pass in a string scalar as a pointer / size buffer pair.
