We need some native LPython way to do the following casts:
@ccall
def cptr_to_i64(p: CPtr) -> i64:
pass
@ccall
def i64_to_cptr(p: i64) -> CPtr:
pass
def increment_p_i16(p: CPtr, n: i32) -> CPtr:
q: i64 = cptr_to_i64(p)
q += i64(n * 2)
return i64_to_cptr(q)Currently they are implemented using:
uint64_t cptr_to_i64(void *p) {
return (uint64_t)p;
}
void* i64_to_cptr(uint64_t p) {
return (void*)p;
}Rather, I would like to just do:
from lpython import cptr_to_i64, i64_to_cptr
def increment_p_i16(p: CPtr, n: i32) -> CPtr:
q: i64 = cptr_to_i64(p)
q += i64(n * 2)
return i64_to_cptr(q)And LPython will insert appropriate casting nodes in ASR.
