Hello guys...
is it possible to make a reference of a native Kotlin Class to an COpaquePointer ?

in Swift we can do something like:

var context = SCNetworkReachabilityContext(version: 0, info: nil, retain: nil, release: nil, copyDescription: nil)
<http://context.info|context.info> = Unmanaged<Reachability>.passUnretained(self).toOpaque()

where self is a the Swift class that contain this code...

Hi, are you talking about something like that?

[magnumrocha]

just to me understand: StableRef.create(myKClassInstance) is the same of a Unmanaged<MyKClass>.passUnretained(this) ? I mean, this has the same effect...

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

I’m not so familiar with Swift, but I suppose they are similar. From what I see in the documentation - both of them “prepare” a reference to be represented as a pointer.

nice, thank you so much 👍

Note that you StableRef should eventually be disposed manually (using .dispose)

[magnumrocha]

yeah, I'm aware, thank you 🙂
