#include "eif_cecil.h"
EIF_PROCEDURE eif_procedure (char * name, int * tid);
DESCRIPTION
The
eif_procedure() function returns the address of the Eiffel procedure of name
name from the class, which type identifier is
tid.
If the visible exception is enabled, it raises an visible exception upon failure.
RETURN VALUE
It returns NULL when it fails ( the procedure does not exist or is not visible). Otherwise, the address of the procedure is returned.
NOTES
The Eiffel procedure cannot be a C external. In this case, you must directly call the C routine.
The return value is an address: to use it as a routine, you must call it with arguments or at least with ().
No argument type checking is done. You may cast the address of an Eiffel routine obtained with
eif_procedure() when calling it with real arguments.
CONFORMANCE
ISE Eiffel 4.4 and later.
COMPATIBILITY
eif_procedure() is equivalent to
eif_proc(), which is deprecated.
