** implies *native ownership* for a *Pointer* referenced *native* memory
if the expression is constant. Otherwise the *native* memory has *java ownership*.
See [ReturnedArrayLength Setting](#returnedarraylength-symbol-expression) above.
* Utilizing a *flexible* *elemCount* via **ReturnedArrayLength getValElements()** renders us unable to determine ownership
of pointer referenced *native* memory segment and hence renders ownership *mixed or ambiguous*, [see \[5\]](#signature-const-int32_t--customsize-ambiguous-java-owned). This is due to the fact, that native code may allocate memory and writes its *elemCount* into the designated field *valElements*. In such cases, the user being aware of the underlying API shall utilize `setVal(..)` and `releaseVal()` with care.
* To release native memory with *java ownership*, i.e. a native ByteBuffer, `releaseVal()` can be used.
### Struct Setter Pseudo-Code
#### Overview
In general we have the following few cases
* Array owned by parent struct itself
* `int32_t val[10]`
* Setter of `val` within range, keeping memory
* `const int32_t val[10]`
* No setter allowed due to const value
* Referenced Memory (array) owned by Java
* `int32_t* val`
* Setter within range, keeping memory, or replacing memory
* `const int32_t* val`
* Setter replacing memory, since memory is non-const but value is const
* Referenced Memory (array) owned by Native Code due to set *ConstElemCount*
* `int32_t* val`
* Setter of `val` within range, keeping memory owned by native code
* `const int32_t* val`
* No setter allowed, since memory is owned by native code and value is const
#### Implemented Pseudo Code
* *ImmutableAccess*: Drops setter, immutable
* *Pointer* & *ConstValue* & *ConstElemCount*: Drops setter, native ownership on const-value
* *Array* & *ConstValue* : Drops setter, const-value array
* *Primitive*
* Single aggregated instance
* Store value within *native* memory
* *Array* | *Pointer*
* *MaxOneElement*
* *Pointer*
* *ConstValue*: Allocate new memory and store value
* *VariaValue*:
* *ConstElemCount*: Reuse *native* memory and store value with matching *elemCount 1*, otherwise Exception
* *VariaElemCount*: Reuse *native* memory and store value with matching *elemCount 1*, otherwise allocates new memory (had *elemCount 0*)
* *Array* & *VariaValue*: Reuse *native* memory and store value (has const *elemCount 1*)
* *else*: *SKIP* setter for const single-primitive array
* *AnyElementCount*
* *String* & *isByteBuffer* & *Pointer*
* *ConstElemCount*: Reuse *native* memory and store UTF-8 bytes with EOS with matching *elemCount*, otherwise Exception
* *StringOnly*: End, no more setter for this field, otherwise continue
* *VariaElemCount*: Allocate new *native* memory and store UTF-8 bytes with EOS
* *StringOnly*: End, no more setter for this field, otherwise continue
* *ConstValue*
* *Pointer*
* *VariaElemCount*: Allocates new *native* memory and store value
* *else*: *SKIP* setter for const primitive array
* *Array* | *ConstElemCount*: Reuse *native* memory and store value with <= *elemCount*, otherwise Exception
* *Pointer* & *VariaElemCount*: Reuse *native* memory and store value with <= *elemCount*, otherwise allocate new *native* memory
* *Struct* ...
### Struct Java Signature Table
Please find below signature table as generated by the *C Declaration* including its *C Modifier*,
e.g. `const` for constant, `[const]` for const and non-const and `empty` for non-const (variable).
Further, the *GlueGen Setting* (see above) impacts the code generation as well.
Below table demonstrates *primitive* types being mapped within a `struct` named `TK_Struct`.
A similar mapping is produced for `struct` types, i.e. *compounds*.

### Struct Function Pointer Support
GlueGen supports function pointers as struct fields,
generating function calls as methods as well function-pointer opaque getter and setter as `long` types.
The latter only in case if mutable, i.e. non-const.
#### Example
Assume the following C Header file example:
```
typedef struct {
int32_t balance;
} T2_UserData;
typedef int32_t ( * T2_CustomFuncA)(void* aptr);
typedef int32_t ( * T2_CustomFuncB)(T2_UserData* pUserData);
typedef struct {
const T2_CustomFuncA CustomFuncA1;
T2_CustomFuncB CustomFuncB1;
} T2_InitializeOptions;
```
and the following GlueGen *no-magic* configuration
```
Opaque long void*
EmitStruct T2_UserData
StructPackage T2_UserData com.jogamp.gluegen.test.junit.generation
EmitStruct T2_InitializeOptions
StructPackage T2_InitializeOptions com.jogamp.gluegen.test.junit.generation
```
This will lead to the following result for `const T2_CustomFuncA customFuncA1`
```
/**
* Getter for native field CustomFuncA1, being a struct owned function pointer.
*
* Native Field Signature (PointerType) typedef 'T2_CustomFuncA' -> int32_t (*)(void * aptr), size [fixed false, lnx64 8], const[false], pointer*1, funcPointer
*
*/
public final long getCustomFuncA1() { .. }
/** Interface to C language function:
int32_t CustomFuncA1(void * aptr)
*/
public final int CustomFuncA1(long aptr) { ... }
```
and similar to `T2_CustomFuncB customFuncB1`
```
/**
* Setter for native field CustomFuncB1, being a struct owned function pointer.
*
* Native Field Signature (PointerType) typedef 'T2_CustomFuncB' -> int32_t (*)(T2_UserData * pUserData), size [fixed false, lnx64 8], const[false], pointer*1, funcPointer
*
*/
public final T2_InitializeOptions setCustomFuncB1(long src) { .. }
/**
* Getter for native field CustomFuncB1, being a struct owned function pointer.
*
* Native Field Signature (PointerType) typedef 'T2_CustomFuncB' -> int32_t (*)(T2_UserData * pUserData), size [fixed false, lnx64 8], const[false], pointer*1, funcPointer
*
*/
public final long getCustomFuncB1() { .. }
/** Interface to C language function:
int32_t CustomFuncB1(T2_UserData * pUserData)
*/
public final int CustomFuncB1(T2_UserData pUserData) { .. }
```
## Platform Header Files
GlueGen provides convenient platform headers,
which can be included in your C header files for native compilation and GlueGen code generation.
Example:
```
#include
#include
uint64_t test64;
size_t size1;
ptrdiff_t ptr1;
```
To compile this file you have to include the following folder to your compilers system includes, ie `-I`:
```
gluegen/make/stub_includes/platform
```
To generate code for this file you have to include the following folder to your GlueGen `includeRefid` element:
```
gluegen/make/stub_includes/gluegen
```
## Pre-Defined Macros
To identity a GlueGen code generation run, GlueGen defines the following macros:
```
#define __GLUEGEN__ 2
```
