3.8. Raw object handling

void sq_addref(HSQUIRRELVM v, HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • v (HSQUIRRELVM) – the target VM

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

adds a reference to an object handler.

SQRESULT sq_getobjtypetag(HSQOBJECT *o, SQUserPointer *typetag)
Parameters

  • o (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

  • typetag (SQUserPointer*) – a pointer to the variable that will store the tag

Returns

a SQRESULT

Remarks

the function works also with instances. if the target object is an instance, the typetag of it’s base class is fetched.

gets the typetag of a raw object reference(userdata or class).

SQUnsignedInteger sq_getrefcount(HSQUIRRELVM v, HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • v (HSQUIRRELVM) – the target VM

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – object handler

returns the number of references of a given object.

SQRESULT sq_getstackobj(HSQUIRRELVM v, SQInteger idx, HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • v (HSQUIRRELVM) – the target VM

  • idx (SQInteger) – index of the target object in the stack

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

Returns

a SQRESULT

gets an object from the stack and stores it in a object handler.

SQBool sq_objtobool(HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

Remarks

If the object is not a bool will always return false.

return the bool value of a raw object reference.

SQFloat sq_objtofloat(HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

Remarks

If the object is an integer will convert it to float. If the object is not a number will always return 0.

return the float value of a raw object reference.

SQInteger sq_objtointeger(HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

Remarks

If the object is a float will convert it to integer. If the object is not a number will always return 0.

return the integer value of a raw object reference.

const SQChar *sq_objtostring(HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

Remarks

If the object doesn’t reference a string it returns NULL.

return the string value of a raw object reference.

SQUserPointer sq_objtouserpointer(HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

Remarks

If the object doesn’t reference a userpointer it returns NULL.

return the userpointer value of a raw object reference.

void sq_pushobject(HSQUIRRELVM v, HSQOBJECT obj)
Parameters

  • v (HSQUIRRELVM) – the target VM

  • obj (HSQOBJECT) – object handler

push an object referenced by an object handler into the stack.

SQBool sq_release(HSQUIRRELVM v, HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • v (HSQUIRRELVM) – the target VM

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

Returns

SQTrue if the object handler released has lost all is references(the ones added with sq_addref). SQFalse otherwise.

Remarks

the function will reset the object handler to null when it loses all references.

remove a reference from an object handler.

void sq_resetobject(HSQOBJECT *po)
Parameters

  • po (HSQOBJECT*) – pointer to an object handler

Remarks

Every object handler has to be initialized with this function.

resets(initialize) an object handler.
