set_field


Description:

public bool set_field (void* mem, Argument value)

Writes a field identified by a FieldInfo to a C structure or union.

This only handles fields of simple C types. It will fail for a field of a composite type like a nested structure or union even if that is actually writable. Note also that that it will refuse to write fields where memory management would by required. A field with a type such as 'char *' must be set with a setter function.

Parameters:

mem

pointer to a block of memory representing a C structure or union

value

a Argument holding the value to store

field_info

a FieldInfo

Returns:

true if writing the field succeeded, otherwise false
